Todmorden MMM

MMM 2012 Prize Winners

With excellent (freezing) weather and 64 runners the 2012 Todmorden Mini Moorland Marathon was a great success! Well done Phil Hodgson for all the hours of organisational work that he put into this. The Roebuck proved to be a successful venue, with easy access to varied terrain.

First Todmorden Harrier solo runner was Kevin Booth. Derek Clutterbuck was awarded the coveted Golden Pigeon Award. A special mention must be made of the achievement of James Logue, the overall winner. He visited an amazing 18 out of 23 checkpoints in a time of 182 minutes. Have a look at the map of his route (click the photo below to see a bigger version). That’s a lot of ground covered there!

Noon Stone Fell Race cancelled

Due to the imposition of new access restrictions the Noon Stone Fell Race, which was due to be run on Feb 25th 2012 has now been cancelled. There are no plans to stage the race in future.

This was an increasingly popular event and had been selected as an English Championship counter on three occasions – most recently in 2010. I’m sure that plenty of you will have pleasant memories of the race, which was first ran in 1993. Never mind – we live in a changing world and things move on – for better or worse!
