Mason takes Burnsall
The last week or so in August sees three races, all extremely short, all extremely tough and all extremely coveted. First up is the 1.5 mile Burnsall race. Just over a week later and it’s the Grasmere Senior Guides race, over 160 years old!
And lastly it’s the notoriously treacherous (and a mere 113 editions old!) Kilnsey Show Crag Race in a couple of week’s time.
Today it was Wharfdale Harrier and short-distance specialist Ted Mason who came out a clear winner of the Burnsall event, ahead of Sam Tosh and Tom Adams, who both recorded the same time (14:30). Having won the 2010 BOFRA race on the same route 2010, Mason is well acquainted with the route and his time of 14.18, though fast, is still a fair way down on John Wild’s amazing 1983 record of 12.48.
Ian Holmes was 4th with Eryri’s Math Roberts making the long trip from North Wales worthwhile with 5th. Steph Curtis won the womens race in 19.35.
