Herod Farm Race

Herod Farm Race  12th April 2000
3 miles   1100ft climb

A few short of hundred hardy fell runners turned up for the annual Herod Farm Race and the Harriers came away with the veteran's team prize.   The race was supported by "Up and Running" the Hyde retailer who supplied the prize list.   Barry Hobbs, the race organiser said "This is a tough race.   It's probably easier to organise than to race but, over a pint in the "Drovers" the pain begins to fade."    Barry has to obtain the permission of farmer of Herod Farm who kindly allows the race to proceed on what is not a right of way.

Last year's winner, Andrew Norman of Altrincham, was relegated to second place this year by an in-form Ged Cudahy of Stockport, coming home in  23mins. 37secs.  -  a good time on a wet night. 

The most notable Harrier was Dale Gartley who came in third in 25mins. 29secs. earning him the 1st male V40  prize.   Sam Turton was the first junior home in a creditable 15th place in a time of 29mins. 02secs.
