Fantastic scenic conditions greeted the competitiors for the Glen Mona Fell race held today. The morning ice and snow had mostly cleared leaving a sunny but cold afternoon for the race.
The race win was taken by Lloyd Taggart setting a new course record in the process, second place went to Tom Cringle also breaking the old course record but 2 and a half minutes behind Lloyd, Simon Skillicorn wrapped up the top three about two minutes behind Tom with fourth place going to Ian Gale, fifth to Peter Bradley and sixth to Dave Gelling. Leading vet 50 was Rob Webb, making a welcome return to the fells, top vet 60 was Dave Young finishing 19th overall.
The ladies win went to Jackie Lee finishing 8th overall in a time of 1hr 11 min 45sec also setting a new course record, second lady was Caroline Caren .
Full results thanks to Doug now available here

We still require one marshal to be covered for the race, if you can volunteer please get in touch via the details on the marshals page, don’t forget to qualify for the manx fell league you need to have done or provided someone to cover at least one marshal slot.
