Ripon 10 Success!
After the previous weeks rainfall it was with great relief that there were dry conditions for Ripon Runner’s annual 10 mile race. The hilly but picturesque course leads the runners from Hell Wath around the Studley Royal estate with beautiful views of Ripon and the surrounding countryside.
Unattached runner Jack Simpson was the first to complete the course in 57.35, with North York Moors Paul Lowe second in 59.10 and Harrogate Harriers Andrew Dobby in third in 1.00.56. In the ladies competition Emma Yates of York Knavesmire was first in 1.07.32, Jenny Hutchenson of Harrogate Harriers was second in 1.09.18 and Karen Best of Otley AC finished third in 1.10.25.
Derek McCreadie led home the Ripon Runners taking part in 1.03.25, followed by Alex Fawcett 1.06.11, Joe Lofthouse 1.11.36, Gary Wilks 1.16.25, Donna Riddler 1.17.05, Chris I’Anson 1.27.18, Annette Stainthorpe 1.38.29, Matthew Clough 1.40.36 and Mel Dutka 1.43.08.
