History of the Race
|
The first fell race was conceived
by Ian Rooke, Dave Bayliss and Pete Bland as a race for the adults at
the country fair, where the childrens sports were already popular. (See
fair page for history). Just a handful of runners took part in the
first race, but over the next couple of years, they honed the route and
the race emerged in its current form in 1985. This is considered the
first Official race and it has been run annually since then.
This race helped to raise funds
for the new Village Hall, then under construction. Runners were
registered in the porch of the new hall - the only part that could be
used at the time! The hall was completed during the year following.
Ian Rooke was the race organiser
every year up to 2003 when John Dickinson took over to allow Ian and
Liz a holiday in May for the first time in almost 20 years!
The winner of the race receives the Sheepskin Warehouse Challenge Trophy, donated by Mark Birkbeck of Jumpers Ltd.
The second place runner receives
the Will Ramsbottom Memorial Cup. Will was involved in the design of
the current course.Will was sadly killed in a climbing accident 2 weeks
after coming second in the race in 1993.
Pete Bland was involved in the
birth of the race and has supported and sponsored the race ever since.
Pete Bland Sports supplies the numbers for all the runners and
contributes to the prizes.
The junior races started in 1993
when a national race lost its venue and the Hutton Roof was able to
supply a course. This has since continued. with classes for under 12
(Min age 10), under 14, under 16 and under 18s.
