Bradda Fell Race

Results from todays Bradda Fell Race - an absolute epic in the wettest & mistyest conditions we've seen on the course on a long time:-

"Lloyd Taggart broke the course record today knocking about 2 minutes off the long-standing previous best (2 hr 6 min 32 sec held by Del Davies since 1986). A quite superb display of running in conditions that were far from ideal,and don`t forget the old record was set when the race was held in July. He finished 8 minutes ahead of Simon Skillicorn with Paul Sheard 3rd.
Lloyds partner Jackie Lee was first female in a time of around 2.41. Rose was second and Bridgette third.
Full results to follow as soon as poss." (Quote Richie Stevenson - Manx Fell Runner's president).

What is more exciting is that Lloyd is entering this years Manx Mountain Marathon (which he ran a section of on Saturday as a recce!! - The Bradda race also covers part of the route) so it looks very likely that Colin Donelly's long standing record on that course may also fall!!

Well done Lloyd (and Jackie) - glad you're not putting any pressure on him, Allan, regarding Colin's Donnelly's record!

Just having a look at the MMM race history. Quite impressive of Colin Donnelly - winning in 1980, 1981 and then again in 2002.

If Jackie's running as well this year then there's a pretty good chance the lady's record will go, I'd have thought.

I thought Jackie looked very relaxed yesterday, she even had time to smile & wave to the photographer!! Didn't see much of Lloyd, he was way ahead of me!!!
