Coledale Horseshoe Fell Race 2019

Saturday hosted the annual Coledale Horseshoe Fell Race (Distance: 13.7km / 8.5m, Climb: 915m / 3002ft)from Braithwaite by Keswick in the northern Lake District. A classic fell race it attracted a very strong field and was attended by Scout Adkin, Andy Cox and Pete Hall (in his Cumbria Fell Runners colours as he’s still a member of them too).

After the midweek surprise dump of snow on the tops, there were fears foe the worst for race day. However, the sun came out with hardly any wind at all and Scout was even sporting sunnies!

In total there were 315 who took to the startline.

Scout had a very strong race to finish 8^th woman, in 1:41:33, Andy was 52nd overall in 1:32:32 and Pete broke 2 hrs in 1:59:31, 31^st in M50. Full results here: https://www.fellrunner.org.uk/results.php?id=5542
