Radcliffe 10km Report - Written by Mark Emmett
On a warm sunny spring morning 231 runners ventured onto the new Radcliffe 10K course, it was billed as a "Brand New Challenging Course" and appeared to live up to its new name. The glorious weather and dry trails ensured that this would be a fiercely fought contest between local runners.
1st home from Salford Harriers (ex Radcliffe AC) was Ben Riddell in a quick time of 33.23. Ben led from the start to the finish and was 56 seconds ahead of 2nd place man Alastair Murray from Horwich RMI. The grand prix team of Horwich males romped home with the team prize finishing in 2nd, 3rd, 4th & 10th.
Amongst the field of 231 starters were 73 ladies, 1st home for the ladies was Tess Walker from Salford Harriers in a very credible 38.01, Tess was closely followed 9 seconds later by Dionne Allen of Horwich RMI.
The ladies team prize went to Wesham Road Runners who followed up there success at the recent St Annes 120 miler, finishing 3rd, 7th and 10th ladies.
230 runners finished the course and were able to relax at the finish in the sun cheering their fellow runners over the line. All in all an easy day for the Race officials as there were no problems on the new course which appeared well received by most tired runners who were glad of the water at the finish.
All the best

Message from Radcliffe AC
Just a reminder to anyone attending our race on 18th April they can enter on line at ukresults.net or on the day At Radcliffe Cricket Club, Homer Street (Opposite Bob-In Motor spares) off Bolton Road Radcliffe. The start is a 5 minute or so warm up down Cams Lane. Road or trail shoes should be fine, if it stays dry I'd go for road shoes as the trail is quite well drained. Presentation and food available at the Cricket Club aftere the event.
All the best
