Ready for the off


FELL running enthusiasts will be lining up on Sun­ day for the start of the Clitheroe Fell Race — with their sights set on the ‘‘Advertiser and Times”


trophy. The race starts at 11 a.m. from the field off the old


road near Four Lane Ends. The six-mile route, with 1,250ft. of climbing, takes competitors to the ridge of Pendle and back to the starting point.


Last year’s winner was Dave Cartridge, of Bolton


Harriers, in a time of 53 mins 03 secs. Mist led to several competitors retiring from the race, and organiser Mr Len Farnsworth, of Kcmple View, Clitheroe, is hoping for better weather for the entry


of around 250 runners. This year, a junior fell race is to be incorporated,


starting before the senior race with a three-mile route. The race is open to undcr-15s and is included in the Clayton-le-Moors Harriers Junior Fell Race Championship event.
