“Another good turnout for the 21st Simonside Cairns Fell Race. Apart from a stiff breeze on the tops conditions were pretty good being dry, clear and much better underfoot than in recent years. Jim Mann, Sam Steele and William Robson had a great tussle at the front before Jim eased away in the final run in to finish first. Karen Robertson once again headed the ladies with the ever improving Katherine Davis not too far behind and Liz Barker in third. Karen has dominated this race in recent years and this was her 8th win in 12 years.

Apologies to DFR who should have won the men’s team prize ahead of NSP by one point. NFR won the ladies team prize. Many thanks to Garry and Stuart from Hangar 18 ORR for donation of prizes.
