The final race of the British Open Fell Runners Association (BOFRA) season was on Sat 10th October at Wasdale Show. Once again the pups and the Juniors did themselves and P&B proud.
PUPS – Melissa started and completed 9 races in her first season, a brilliant effort, though she wasn’t at the Wasdale show. Annie started and completed a fantastic 13 races an came down the hill at Wasdale like a true champ!
U14s – Eddie completed 12 of his 13 races having to retire from the Kirby race due to injury. His first season at U14s saw him finish a fantastic 11th. With 3 top ten finishes an 8th, 9th and a 10th place. Great effort, well done Eddie.
U12s – a terrific effort from Declan in the last race saw him come home in 4th place – his highest place finish of the season. 9th over all in the championship with a 4th, 5th, 6th place, two 7th, 8th, 9th place finishes, and a 10th placed finish saw Declan never outside of the top ten places.
A good season for all our Pups and Junior competitors in the BOFRA championship. It would be great to see more Pups an Juniors on the fells next season. It’s a great introduction to fell running and a good day out.
I would just like to thank all the coaches and volunteers for their support and help and the encouragement from the senior racers throughout the season.
