Cracken Edge Fell Race – KMRT wins team trophy

The Cracken Edge fell race was held last night. A little wet in places but a glorious, warm summer’s evening more than made up for that. Although it seemed like half of Kinder were running, there were really only five of us and Darren, Dan and Mat brought home the trophy and a bottle of beer each. The rest of  the team, families and friends were marshalling. The lovely thing about this race is that its a true team event, run by the team to raise funds for the work we do so thanks to each and every runner for taking part and to all the friends, families and supporters who contribute to making this the success it is.

Richard Siepp was taking photographs at the race and these are available from here. Rich has very generously offered to donate the proceds of any photo sales to the team so if you do buy one, you’re not only getting a cracking (no pun intended) memento but also supporting KMRT.

Apologies for the delay in uploading the Cracken Edge Fell Race photos – these will hopefully be up in the next few days

Callout 2. 7-March-2009

In an attempt to do a bit of training for the downfall race I went for a run round the route on Saturday morning, a time when the plateau is often quite, while people are busy shopping or assembling Ikea furniture. However the Watershed race (42miles overnight) was in progress and there were runners everywhere. When I reached the downfall I bumped into a friend from my student days who was leading a “blind” runner, which at first I took to be some sort of charity stunt. It turned out however that his sight had gone during the event and could not see enough to walk without assistance. The offer of a lift from Edale Cross was gratefully accepted and the snatch callout procedure swung into action as we guided him along the edge path.

Once in the vehicle his sight started to improve and continued to do so back at the hut. He was then driven back round to Edale to be united with his fellow runners.
