— World Championship Trial ( Uphill ).

Second claim YKH runner Scout Adkin has been focusing on this race for some time now. A ggod result would mean selection to the National team for the World Championships to be held in Bulgaria.
It did not quite work out on the day , in the Ladies race to the summit of Lakeland Mountain Skiddaw Scout was 9th, not enough for selection to the GB team , but some consolation was taken in being the first Scottish Lady.

Chris Roberts also tried his hand , in a field of high quality runners his result of 42nd out of 54 was a good achievement. For added spice the Men’s race icluded two ascents of Latrigg as well as the slog up to Skiddaw’s top.
