The weather was just about perfect (apart from the intermittent torrential rainfall and chilling wind) as several (well 45) eager undeterred athletes (and Rick!) took to the darkened paths last night for the first Torchlight Tip 5k of the 2013 winter series.
With additional features in place (extra torch and megaphone!) a group of five runners soon opened up a growing gap headed by a startled flying doctor unaccustomed (as most of us are) to this privileged spot.
With Callum manning the much welcomed bridge floodlight and Mark Ashby directing the new high powered 10 watt LED implement, safe passage for all was assured.
“I’m taking it easy tonight” McGrath took victory in a time of 18:48 leaving a trail of bobbing beams in his wake whilst our resident official time master, Mr Rothwell, ensured general fair play!
Judging by the level of entry this event, regardless of conditions, appears considered a great source of competitive enjoyment or just stupidity to those who simply fail to understand the concept!
Don’t miss the Xmas special on 11th December. Same time, same place, worse weather!
Many thanks to all those familiar and new faces who attended.
Regards Andrew

DNF Greg Walker
Some amazing times taking into account the dark, gravel paths, tight turns, short sharp hills and freezing conditions.
Great race, congrats to Andy Hudson and team for putting on a fantastic event.
steve wilko showed his true ability by blasting round for a win!
I was pleased to have my best race since last July finishing 3rd after tracking in form Steve Mclean, catching him and shearing the pace with him until the final 400m where he used his track running power to edge me out of 2nd place.
Steve Lewis had another fantastic run finished 4th setting a p.b. in the process!
In the womens race Vicky Harvey was the outstanding winner finishing almost 3 mins ahead of Carol Wright who put in a good run to finish 2nd lady with Sue Stewart 3rd and Donna Spencer 4th.
