A Dark Peak clean sweep; when did that last happen in an open race? Almost as surprising was Malcolm finishing as third Dark Peaker!
Another record field made the start quite hectic on the dash to the railway bridge but every year this race surprises people with its long run back through the fields to the finish. As the waves of runners poured in queuing to cross the line, the finish officials began moving back along the course to keep track of times! More like the finish of the National Cross Country.
