Anneke Wins Latest Hardmoors
Anneke Imeson was first female in Saturday’s Hardmoors Princess race. The route is just short of 31 miles long and includes an 8 mile loop from Ravenscar Village Hall to Hayburn Wyke before returning to Ravenscar. The race continues to Whitby via the cinder track, before runners climb 199 steps to Whitby Abbey then follow the Cleveland Way back to Ravenscar, the last 10 mile section containing most of the course’s 2,950 feet of ascent. Anneke put her recent injury problems behind her, which had stopped her running for 2 months, for a winning time was 5 hours 31 minutes, and was closely followed over the finish line by Matthew Holt.
