PENISTONE Footpath Runner Suzanne McGill was first woman at the Ambles Revenge on Sunday.

It is an eight-mile route which starts in Oxspring and heads over farm tracks, fields and country lanes to Green Moor and back. Unlike in previous years, the weather was kind and there were no long sections of mud.

The race was sold-out for a third successive year, with 350 entries.

McGill finished in 1-04-31.

Majka Kunicka, also of Penistone, finished in third place.

Penistone’s Richard Cottam was third overall and Paul Johnson from Barnsley Harriers fourth, with Tom Fryers from Penistone in fifth place.

There were age category wins for Penistone’s Barbara Haigh (first over70 woman) and Stuart Woodhead (first over65 man), Barnsley Harriers’ Steve Frith (first over70 man) and Penistone’s Bill Phillips (first over75 man).

Lois Lopez claimed second place in the women’s over50 category and Valentina Wright was third in the same category.

Barnsley AC’s Lennon Hughes finished 30th in 1-02-52.

At Ribble Valley 10k in Lancashire, Barnsley AC’s Morgan Thompson ran his second fastest 10k time of 34-04.
