Crisp and Cold at Glen Mona
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 .

Much better route in the Winter, it’s a lot cooler and no ferns! I loved running through the snow along the Clagh Ouyr ridge. Thanks to all the marshalls, timekeepers, course markers and the weather.
Agree with Peter, fantastic day to be on the hills. Also thanks to everyone who helped on the day and to Ian for placing the punches.
I stand to be corrected but I would think the entry was the best we have had for this race.
Course records for Lloyd and Jackie along with plenty of great performances.
A superb day out!
