Jack Bloor Fell Race
A team of four Ripon Runners ladies took to the fells on Tuesday 10 May to do the Jack Bloor fell race.
With 1,150 ft of ascent and just over 5 miles, this is a hard race over the very tricky terrain of Ilkley Moor. Runners have to tackle an immediate uphill start with a very sharp ascent followed by a technical steep descent back to the finish.
The four – Sally Houghton, Kim Holden, Nicole Sutton and Kristie Taylor took 2nd team prize with Nicole and Kristie doing their first ever fell race. Excellent times all round – Sally 55 minutes 6 seconds, Nicole 66:03, Kristie 66:93, and Kim 68:10.
