A new course for 2011 awaited the 100 runners who gathered for the annual Cinnamon Lodge Chase promoted by Meltham A.C on Wednesday night.
Holmfirth’s Dave Watson soon hit the front and his lead was never trouble, finishing with the best part of 2 minutes to spare over Simon Courtney (Stadium Runners), who had overhauled teammate Michael Hyde in the second half of the 6-mile race.
Margaret Beever (Stainland Lions) once again dominated the Ladies race, finishing ahead of fellow Stainland runner Julie Field, with Holmfirth’s Jacqui Khoueiry in third.
