report

The
first Badger run of 2009 saw 129 runners complete
the challenging course in almost ideal running conditions
– cool and mostly dry. The race was won by unattached
runner Rich Smith in a time of 35:41, a little outside
the course record of 34mins set by Steve Littler last
year. Rich was well clear of the next three runners,
who in turn had a convincing lead over the rest of
the field. Deborah Wright of Wigan Phoenix took the
honours in the ladies race, pushed by Gemma Unsworth
of Blackpool, Wyre and Fylde AC with young Rossendale
runner Katie Ireland taking 3rd place.

Harriers were out in force again and maintained their
domination of the event by taking both men’s and ladies
team trophies. Thanks to all who took part; I did
overhear some Chorley Harriers indicating it was the
hardest 10km they had ever competed in – so not one
for the fainthearted. Good to see some newcomers in
this 4th year of the series, please keep spreading
the word. I am as always grateful to those who helped
on the night to make this another successful event.
Hope to see you all again on June 18th for Badger
2. Please tell your friends.

Clare Kenny,
