  5. Herod Farm and Kinder...

On a beautiful early spring evening, Glossopdale Harriers staged the ‘Joe Barber’ Herod Farm fell race, a short but tough race involving two climbs of Whiteley Nab. This local race marks the beginning of the midweek evening fell racing season.

First man home was Tom Brunt of Sheffield-based Dark Peak Harriers in a fast time of 24.00, first lady was Helen Thornhill of Buxton AC, a junior under 18 runner. Mark Ollerenshaw was first local runner home hotly pursued by Chris Jackson.  Lizzie Leason finished 3rd in the ladies race. The men’s team prize was won by Dark Peak with local club East Cheshire Harriers claiming the ladies team prize. A near record 136 runners started and completed the race.
Race organiser Sikobe thanked sponsors Joe Barber Plumbers, Reliance Garage for the venue, Glossop Explorer Scouts who provided refreshments, the landowners for giving permissions and all the marshals. GDH results:-
