RSCAC is not only present in the Walking, Track and Field, or Cross Country scenes. We also do fell running.

Nick Corker had a great outing at the 2016 Anniversary Waltz fell race in the Lake District last Saturday, which also marked the 20th anniversary for this fell race.

In a field 332 runners strong, with an 11 miles race and more than 1,100m of ascent – or 3,609 foot if you prefer – some of which were so steep that they had to be done on all-fours, Nick finished in an excellent 17th place, and covered the distance in 1:49:22.

If you think that cardiac or sandy hills in Sutton Park are too difficult, and need a tip or two on how to climb or come down a mountain like a proper fell runner, have a word with Nick.

Shaun Evans provided the highlight at the English Schools XC Championships last weekend at Wollaton Park. He produced possibly his best performance of the season to finish in 13th place. Well done Shaun! For the girls the top performance came from Georgia Curry who was 32nd.

It was great also to see a strong club representation in the Senior Boys race, with Alex Jones, Euan Cox and Alex Blackham joining Shaun in the West Midlands team and Jerome Austin turning out for Staffordshire.
