Correct result

I apologise - I got the result wrong. I hadn't realised that Eric had overtaken both Hazel and Alice. Sorry Eric! 

The full results are below. They are in the actual order that we finished, which is the true result of the handicap race.  

But we should note that the best actual times were 
Jez with 27.05, Simon with 27.39 and Eric with 28.30
Dawn 34.17, Hazel 34.35 and Alice with 36.12

Handicap Race

Over twenty runners competed in the handicap race organised on Moel Famau on Tuesday night. Runners set off at intervals, slowest first. The course is 4.4 miles and 650 feet of climbing (and descent) on the forest tracks. 

Hazel and Alice had a real battle for the lead. They were neck and neck when they passed me about 25 minutes into the race. It was finally won by Hazel who edged ahead in the last few hundred yards. Several other good runs too. 

Huge thanks to Rup for timekeeping and providing something for the midges to feed on. And to John Morris for organising it. Sorting out the start times is a real challenge with so many unknown factors, but it was very successful. I think there was about 4 minutes from first finsiher to last. 


Afterwards we went to the Colomendy Arms in Cadole for well-earned drink. It was good to see new faces and runners returning from injury. It was particularly good to see some people less familiar with the trail running out there enjoying themselves.
