RHAC Photo Album for the Cross Keys Road and Fell Relay, 2025

7th September 2025

James Dawson was fastest runner on Leg 1 from all Clubs on the day (18 min 10 sec). He described it as the hardest thing he had ever done

On 6th September 2025 we fielded 8 teams of four athletes (32 in total) at the Cross Keys Road and Fell Relay in Uppermill. Some of our best runners were out (at least 3 have run sub-17 min 5Ks) and we thought we were in for at least one winning team. However the standard was incredibly high, including several athletes who have raced in their sports for GB/ England, We didn’t quite win (except for the one item mentioned below 🙂 but we were delighted with our results. Highlights are as follows:

– James Dawson set the fastest time from all of the runners on the hilly road leg (18:10),
– Our ladies Team finished 2nd
– Our Male Veterans teams finished 2nd, 3rd and 6th
– Our Female Veterans Team finished 3rd
– Our Men’s team finished 3rd, missing out on 2nd place by just 1 second
– We won the prize for the best team name (our veterans team was called Dale’s 200 Year’s Matured).

It was a jolly good day out and great fun . Here are the individual results (Susie Hirst’s time is taken from Strava) and picture gallery.
