Andrew Dancer had a storming run at the High Fells of Thrunton 15 mile trail race in Northumberland where he finished second in a really close race, just missing out on the win by 8 seconds in a race that lasted 2 hours. You can see how close it is in the video. Cracking run! Results here: http://www.racesplitter.com/races/BA895B771
Penchrise Pen Hill Race
The event has been a popular hunting ground for the Moorfoots in the past with Darin Dougal and Julia Connor winning the inaugral race in 2011, Andy Cox finishing in top spot in 2013, and Lucas Cheskin winning 2016
However this year it was won by Colin Donnelly (who is over 55 and World Masters Silver medallist) covering the 8.4 km course (280m Climb) in 33.55 and breaking Lucas's course record by 26 seconds - what is it with these older runners
Good performances from Darin Dougal, 5th and 2nd M40 in 36.04 with Mike McGovern 9th, and 4th M40 in 36.56 - well done.

Sandstone Trail Race in Cheshire
I (Colin Williams) was visiting friends and family and took in the Sandstone Trail Race in Cheshire this weekend. This is a great event which has run for 40 years and a really nice 17 mile route across the Cheshire Plain joining up the hills. Tried to run a steady pace. 26th, and 14th M40. I ran it 13 years ago when I was 30 and went faster this time.
There was a slight confusion at the finish line when I came into view and speaker announced me as a Warrington Road Runners who have the mirror image vest to us!
