Hardmoors 60
Endurance races captured the imagination at the weekend as a number of Ripon Runners headed to Guisborough for the Hardmoors 60. Racing along the North Yorkshire coast to Filey, passing the tranquil delights of Saltburn, Runswick Bay, Staithes, Whitby, Robin Hoods Bay, Ravenscar and Scarborough, the going was less than tranquil as runners ran along cliff tops, never ending steps and 60 miles of tracks.
First back for Ripon was the experienced trio of Claire Baker and Matt Holt, in 13 hrs 48 mins, and the ever busy Lena Conlin, in hot pursuit in 13 hrs and 56 mins.
Following close behind was the newcomer, and ever smiling David Allen in 14 hrs 46 mins.
