Anna Barlett led the ladies race from start to finish

3-time English fell running champion Simon Bailey scored a comfortable 50 second win over fellow international and Mercia team-mate Tim Davies at the classic early-season Wrekin fell race in Shropshire on Sunday.

In what looked to be almost perfect conditions underfoot and weather-wise both Bailey and Davies were outside of the course record, with Oswestry man Rich Roberts, running for Eryri, a solid third.

Simon Bailey

In the women’s race Shrewsbury’s Anna Barlett scored a decisive win over Sarah Gatford and Mel Price. By winning Bartlett also ensured a overall victory in the Shropshire Hill Winter Series. With 144 finishers this race continues to be one of the most popular on the calendar, with the added attraction of the excellent Mercia website providing the results, and Alastair Tye of fellrunningpictures.co.uk providing some great shots of the event, this popluarity will surely continue…
