Rochdale Harriers at the RTM Fell Grand Prix Awards evening involving over 70 participants from 8 local Clubs

This year Rochdale Harriers provided the venue for the 2024 Run the Moors Fell Grand Prix presentation evening. The RTM Fell Grand Prix involves fell runners from 8 local Clubs competing against each other in an 11-fell race series, where 5 races are required to qualify and the best 5 results count. The guest speaker was Chris Holdsworth. Chris is a GB mountain runner and the organiser of the Pennine Trail series of races. Chris gave the audience in insight to his training and nutritional regime, highlights of his running career so far and a good few tips. This was followed by a traditional, ‘Northern’ pie, peas and red cabbage meal (from Lords the caterers) and presentation of individual awards. Amongst Rochdale’s best performances were:

  • Kay Welsby was first Lady overall
  • Emma Ball was 1st FV50
  • Jennie Ransome was 1st FV60
  • Dave Parton was 3rd male overall
  • John Bramwell was 1st MV50
  • Pete Butterworth was 3rd MV50
