2010 Up and Under results for this race

Julian Carter (off-road running and caving advisor to Up and Under staff) (M40) 49:59, 7th place for this evergreen guy.

Steve Beckwith (internet sales administrator) (SM) 61:01, good effort Steve, having never run off road before and being ill for the three weeks before hand.

Richard Mordey (Floor Manager and Senior Technical Advisor) (M40) 63:29, another good effort from Rich in his second event of the year.

Chris Shorrock (I.T. and H.R. Manager) (SM) 80:19, the slowest senior male on record but a fine effort for someone who only runs 20 minutes every 2 months.

A beautiful evening for the race which was on very dry firm ground which helped set a new course record by Peter Ryder at 45:17.

Well done to everyone involved in organizing and competing in the event. Roll on 2011.
