In this part of the web-site we look back at Club races and events in past years. We start with 1994 when most Club members had waist-lines and hair (and that’s just the ladies). All this information is provided courtesy of our former statistician Dave Sharp, who has now departed to southern parts.

Fell Running 1993/94

The mens fell race championship was won in 1994 by (the athlete formerly known as) Mike Egner, with the Bridget Coomber the ladies champion (now she still runs a bit). In those days the best ‘long’, ‘medium’ and ‘short’ finish, plus the best two others counted towards the championship. Ranking is based on the percentage of your time above that of the winner.

Road Running 1993/94

The men's road race championship was won in 1994 by Jim Bell, with Bridget Coomber the ladies champion. By strange coincidence they both won again in 2002! As with the fell championship the best ‘long’, ‘medium’ and ‘short’ finish, plus the best two others counted towards the championship. Ranking is based on the percentage of your time above that of the winner.
