  • Fine margins separate finishers in Granite Peaks race

    1 week ago | halifaxcourier.co.uk | Mark Berry

    A strong contingent from Calder Valley Fell Runners made their way across to Northern Ireland to take part in the Granite Peaks, one of this year’s British Short Championship races. The Mourne Mountains present a stunning location for the event, and with three 2,000-foot peaks in just over 9k and 750m climb, it packs in lots of mountain for a short race. The rain appeared in time for the race and the mountains were shrouded in a blanket of fog that would test everyone’s navigation skills.

    1 week ago | halifaxcourier.co.uk | Mark Berry

    Calder Valley Fell Runners’ teamwork came to the fore when they secured second place finishes in both the open and women’s categories at the Calderdale Way Relay. Britain's biggest off-road relay event, the Calderdale Way Relay is always a highlight of the fell-running year. The 50-mile circuit is split into six sections, each with a distinctive character that tests runners’ abilities in different ways.

Racing for the Macadam Racing team, Wadsworth took a measured approach during the opening 25-minute free practice session, logging 14 solid laps and clocking a best time of 1:32.744.

  • Simpson stages fight-back to claim trophy success

    2 weeks ago | halifaxcourier.co.uk | Mark Berry

    Yorkshire’s Carol Simpson was the worthy winner of the Ann Howard Trophy (over-60s) after a comeback win over Kim Morris in the final of the English Senior Women's Amateur Championship, at The Nottinghamshire Golf Club. Morris was two-up through seven and it stayed that way till the 12th, where Simpson was given her birdie putt, and the tie was all-square after Simpson parred the 14th. A gimme birdie for Morris on 15 saw her edge back ahead but Simpson parred 16.
