Stretton Skyline - Sun 13th Sept

Report compiled from the bulletin board, mainly by Vanessa

A car load with Matthew, Dick, Colin and Andy Blackmore drove up on Sunday, and the Ashtons also went up to Church Stretton for the Stretton Skyline fell race. 19 miles and 4,450ft of ascent up and down the Long Mynd area. It’s organised by Telford AC.

The results from Telford AC website:
Matthew 9th 2.58.55
Gerry 48th 3.37.40
Andy 53rd 3.40.00
Colin 80th 4.10.20
Dick 81st 4.10.20

93 starters and 85 finishers.

Matthew won the vet 40 prize
Gerry also did a PB by 24 mins.
Colin managed a PB by 39 minutes.
Matthew assures me that everyone enjoyed it! (Well, he did, anyway)

 ”A good, but tough race which has one of the best descents of any race I have ever done (from the Long Mynd into Little Stretton), the only drawback being that you still have four hills and about 15 miles of running to do at that point.”  Matthew

Gerry’s report can be found on his blog:
