Last weekend, Members of Penistone Footpath Runners & AC were in the prizes again at two totally different events. In the hilly Liversedge Half Marathon on a cold day, Steve Frith claimed the first vet 60 prize when he finished in 86th position in 1-34-22 (chip time), beating the present club record. Dave Needham, celebrating his 1000th race in a 35 year career, was 231st in 1-48-36 to take 2nd prize in the vet 65 category. Alex Simon was 162nd in 1-42-27.
Three Members also ran in the 20 mile Wadworth Trog near Hebden Bridge in West Yorkshire. The race, which included 4000 foot of ascent, was held on a cold day with conditions tretcherous underfoot with many icy bogs on the route. Nicky Spinks overcame the conditions to finish 26th overall in a time of 3-38-32 to finish as 2nd Lady and first vet 40. Ian Charlesworth was just behind in 48th position in 3-49-10 and James Pierce 67th in 4-02-32.
