The Ken Taylor Race

Andy O'Sullivan is organising a race in tribute to Ken Taylor the reigning Vets Over 60s British and English Fell Champion who is presently recovery from stomach cancer.
Ken has been an inspiration to many of us here at Rossendale Harriers ( and in the wider fell running community) for many years and his achievments are manifold. Whilst the date planned for the race does clash with many other events on the same day many of Kens friends may want to turn up on the day to pay tribute.Details as follows :

Anyone who has ever attended one of Andy O;Sullivans races will know what a splendid occasion they always are and our thanks go out to Andy for honouring Ken in this way

A must do event for me, Ken has been someone to aspire to at my time with Rossy Harriers.

Ken is a legend

Would love to do this race for Ken. However it clashes with Tebay and also Buckden, so sorry will not be there. Have a great day.
Can you not pick another day?
Ken, top fell runner, Hope you make a full recovery.
You are an inspiration to many runners, you make it look so easy!
Hope to see you back on the fells soon.
Best wishes

all our thoughts are with ken and his family,
he is held with great respect by all at bingley.
