Seven SAC members competed in the Fox and Hounds Fell Race, the first fixture of the Esk Valley Fell Club’s Summer Series of races, that was held at Kilburn Forest and consisted of a 15K course with 580m of climb.

Paul Lawton led the SAC members after finishing third Male overall of 85.

He was followed by Matt Jones in fourth and first Over-45 and Robbie Preston ninth but four scorers were required for a team score.

The club females, with three to score for a team result, were led by Katy Dannerolle with 10th and second Over-50.

Victoria Lockey, with her dogs Dasher and Forest, earned a second place at the Canix Furnations for England at Shipley Country Park.

She was followed by Rhona Marshall in 12th Overall of 58 and third Over-40. Sue Haslam, 13th and first Over-70, closed in for the team which placed third.

Julie Clayton backed up with 19th and first Over-60.

On May 3 and 4, Victoria Lockey raced two of her dogs Dasher and Forest as a two-dog team at the Canix Furnations for Team England Canicross in the 2XF class (Extreme Female) at Shipley Country Park.

The race was comprised of two 5K races over the two days, with the results using the combined time these two races. The course itself was a mixture of undulating hilly grass trails, forest tracks and technical woodland sections whilst Saturday’s heat made it a difficult run, but Victoria managed to secure an overnight lead in first place by less than a second.

Saturday’s slower run meant the seeded time for Sunday was further back than usual, resulting in having to navigate round other competitors with humans attached to dogs safely before being able to settle into the race properly.

Despite a faster run on Sunday, it was just not quick enough to hold one to the lead, and Victoria and her two dogs finished the weekend in second place.

Team results for the weekend were 1st England, 2nd Scotland, 3rd Wales.

Two of the club’s veteran runners, both aged 59, braved the prevailing hot weather conditions at the Leeds Run for All Marathon.

They both used their previous marathon experience to complete the marathon distance. Tony Rawling completed his eighth marathon in 5.31.12 and Kevin Hutchings his fourth in 5.28.49.
