This was the 6th race in the Fell Challenge and seven Harriers turned out and braved the midges on Wednesday night.
The race starts with steep climb out of Cragg Vale onto Dick’s Lane, crossing the field of bog and Sunderland pasture before a tussocky run over Erringdon moor and then a fast tricky descent back to the pub.
Keiran Manchester was 3rd overall in 27:33. Jane Hobson took 2nd F50 in 40:53 followed by Hazel Berrett 1st F60 in 41:21. Andrea Ackroyd took 3rd F50 in 43:04. Making a return after recent injury was Ryan Barker (40:24) with Paul Hopkinson (46:20) and Jenny St Romaine (61:00) all scoring points in the fell challenge.
12 Halifax Harriers travelled to Leeds on Sunday for the Eccup 10 mile race which was part of the Road Challenge. The undulating route is on rural lanes and takes in a scenic lap of Eccup reservoir.

Niall Smith was first back for the club (1:13:06), closely followed by David Ingle (1:13:35). Mark Crabtree (1:14:24) managed to hold off Erika Nightingale (1:14:42).
