Facing awful muddy, rainy and wet conditions the Quakers headed up to Roseberry Topping for the shortest of the 2011 Championship Races. With current leader, Champion elect, Danny Gordon in action it was sure to be tight! Mark Robinson also looked for maximum points to stay ahead of the chasing pack around him! Fell Racing affectionardos Nick Wadd and Anthony Corbett also looked to use their experience to get ahead of the field! Even Bev Snook was tempted along by Wendy Colling for a little muddy climb! Andrew Lambe and Susan Curtis rounded out the Quaker field! 42 point minimum for their troubles!

On considerably different terrain, former Champion Wayne Bramley, chasing a 10k league position too, was positioned for a good finish at the Middlesbrough Tees Pride. Michael Joyeux lead the Quakers in looking to keep himself in 2nd place as chances to catch Danny Gordon are slipping away! With Mark Robinson again in action he looks to take the final podium spot! Two other former Champions, Peter Smith and Steve Snook put in encouraging runs too! In the ladies side, Lucy Jefferies and Louise Trainor both pushed themselves to keep themselves in contention for the alternative gender prize! With 62 Quakers there are are too many to mention! Who got the points?

So who took the points? Where did you finish?
