Ingleborough Fell Race

[mr brightside]

I've done a 61 pre COVID, post COVID is another matter. I heard someone ran unregistered.

Results

I presume the course has lengthened since 1984, the only occasion when I did this race. I have just looked in my results archive, and my time of 53:15 in 1984 would have placed me 5th in this year's race, whereas I was 48th out of 241 in 1984. The winner in 1984, Kevin Capper, did 44:55, more than 5 minutes faster than this year's winner.

There's nothing new about this. I've just looked at the RO's report on the 1984 results list, which finishes with:

"Thanks also to all the runners who took part - except the one who finished without a number, causing some concern to the safety team and the result compilers."

I think it's the same course. Starting and finishing in the gala field, and reaching the summit via crina bottom. The difference this year was certainly the temperature.
