Festive Disorientation (10 miles) - Sunday 30th December 2012 (full results)
This is a low key but pretty tough orienteering fell race, which this year started in Tintwhistle in the north western Peak and covered about 10 miles of the fells north of the Woodhead Pass.  Maps were issued at the start, and we had to visit six checkpoints.  Well over half the race was across open moorland with not a path in sight, and had the clag been down, navigation would have been very tricky.  Tom Brunt won in a time of 1.29.  The first woman was Zoe Proctor in a time of 2.04.  There were 43 finishers.

4th South Yorks X-Country Race. Mount St Mary's, Spinkhill. Sunday 9th December 2012 (full results)
If anybody tells you that a cross country course is "traditional" then beware. Mud (although admittedly nowhere near the insanity of the Nationals last season), hills and really steep hills together with gale force winds meant that this was a challenge for the entire race. Uncertain of distance, times irrelevant the only point of cross country being to beat the person in front of you for the sake of your team. Having said that, this was brilliant conditioning work even if you never get anywhere near to troubling the scorers. This race combined the final league race of the season with the championship race. Congratulations to Carol Beattie, third in the Female Vet O/55 champs race and Dave Parry, third in the Male Vet O/60 race. There were 138 runners in men’s race, won by Mehres Okbhagzi (Sheffield Running Club) in 33:34. There were 89 women in the women’s race, won by Jilly Ingham (Rotherham Harriers) in 25:29.

3rd South Yorks X-Country Race. Winterhill, Kimberworth, Barnsley. Sunday 25th November 2012 (full results)
Following heavy rain (and floods in other parts of the country) in the days leading up to this race, it was anticipated that the course would be a mud bath. In reality the ground was reasonably firm with only a few muddy patches. The course itself was subject to an early morning amendment when the organisers arrived to find one part of the planned course fenced off and no key holder present as promised. Congratulations to Race Organiser Pete McCloud for keeping the show on the road at such short notice. The weather on the day was cold but sunny. There were 123 runners in men’s race, won by Robert Little (Hallamshire Harriers) in 30:35. There were 80 women in the women’s race, won by Stephanie Burns (Rotherham Harriers) in 22:44.

Barnsley 10km - Sunday 18th November 2012 (full results)
Report by Pete Brown

This was a great day for racing - cold and crisp with just a hint of breeze to the disperse the fumes from the country's only remaining coking plant which we passed just after the mile mark. With a surfeit of marshals the unannounced roadworks over the closing yards were easily negotiated although the hill from five to six miles was as taxing as ever. Mike Savage needs to be mentioned in dispatches for finishing as second M50 in under 37 minutes. Race was won by Jack Hallas of Wakefield in 32.07 with Jilly Woddthorpe of Barnsley kicking a lot of male butts as first lady in 36.12. Chip timing but the start from the park could still do with sorting out for those not on the front line. There were 783 finishers.

2nd South Yorks X-Country Race. Wentworth Castle, Barnsley. Sunday 11th November 2012 (full results)
This year's race in the grounds of Wentworth Castle was held in glorious winter sunshine (in contrast to the fog of last year). Conditions underfoot were surprisiongly firm given the recent heavy rain. Each lap of the castle grounds consisted of long descents and one big climb over bumpy fields. The runners looped past a pond, an architectural folly and a herd of deer trying their best to distance themselves from the runners. There were 158 runners in men’s race, won by Meles Okbazghi (Sheffield RC) in 31:50. There were 101 women in the women’s race, won by Stephanie Burns (Rotherham Harriers) in 24:16.

Roaches Fell Race (18 miles / 3,707’) - Sunday 11th November 2012 (full results)
Report by Dave Parry

The race was extended by about 3 miles to avoid fungal pathogen contamination in woodland. So this year it was 18 miles with 3,700 ft of ascent.  An out-and-back course from Tittersworth reservoir to the top of Shutlingsloe via the Roaches with a double crossing of the River Dane.  Some of it very boggy going, but the weather held up with sunny spells. The winner was Simon Bailey from Mercia ( British Fell Race Champ) in an amazing 2:16:29 - miles ahead of anyone else. In the last half mile I had a coming together with a barbwire fence and found myself upside down trapped in the wire. Then I realised it was Remembrance Sunday - so it all seemed rather fitting. There were 134 finishers.

1st South Yorkshire X-Country Race, High Melton, Doncaster - Sunday 21st October 2011 (full results)
A new venue for this season. Plenty of short, sharp hills together with long grass in parts made this a very challenging course. Being the opening fixture, both races were shortened slightly. There were 164 runners in men’s race, won by Meles Okbazghi (Sheffield RC) in 25:58. There were 85 women in the women’s race, won by Stephanie Burns (Rotherham Harriers) in 16:41.

British Fell and Hill Relay Championships (18 miles / 3,707’) - Sunday 14th October 2012 (full results)
Report by Andy Buck

The sun shone for the second year running at the British Fell and Hill Relay Championships, which saw the Striders team put in an improved performance. The race, which draws the very best fell clubs and elite runners, was hosted by Mercia Fell Runners and held in the Long Mynd hills in Shropshire. A little know gem, these hills offer some pretty challenging terrain with really tough ascents and precipitous descents. The day began on a sombre note with a minute's silence for Darren Holloway of Pennine Fell Runners who died the previous Sunday on leg four of the Ian Hodgson Mountain Relay.  His club mates were out in force in his memory. Simon Wiles was our lead off man, covering his 6.7km with 500m ascent in 55:28. Steve Hargreaves and Mark Dickinson took the second and longest leg, at 13km, 900m ascent in 1:37:36. The third leg is the navigation leg, with maps handed out as each pair started, who then needed to navigate to six checkpoints. Ian Stinson and Andy Buck covered the 11.25km, 640m ascent in 1:27:30, just holding off the Totley women's team. The anchor man was Dean Young, taking 52:47 minutes for his 7.1km, 500m ascent. We came home in 88th place in an aggregate time of 4:53:21, 48 places better than last year. At this rate of improvement we will be champions in 2014. This is a great, very well organised event. Next year's race is on 20 October in Llanberis, which promises some great mountain running.  We'll have another go, and see if we can muster more than one team.   Put the date in your diaries now! The winning teams were: Open - Mercia Fell Runners (3:16:52); Men V40 - Calder Dale Fell Runners (3:33:44); Men V50 - Dark Peak Fell Runners (4:12:01); Women - Hunters Bog Trotters (4:13:49).
Leg Name of Strider(s) Distance Time
1 Simon Wiles 6.7km and 500m 55:28
2 Steve Hargreaves & Mark Dickinson 13km and 900m 1:37:36
3 Andy Buck & Ian Stinson 11.25km and 640m 1:27:30

Cusworth 10km - Sunday 7th October 2012 (full results)
Eleven Striders toed the line on a crisp clear morning, perfect for racing, for this 11th counter to the road race championships. A typically well organised Doncaster AC event, the largely rural course has one hill of note, in the first/last mile, and a finish on the avenue leading up to aesthetically pleasing Cusworth Hall. Unfortunately the organisers ran out of t-shirts which may be a blessing considering the flouro, Barnsley Harriers style, colour but we are promised that vestements will be posted to those who missed out as soon as stocks are replenished. The race was won by Andrew Ward (Clowne R.R.) in a time of 30:24. There were 403 finishers.
