PENISTONE Footpath Runner Andrew Pearson had a storming run at the Snake Lane ten-mile road race.

He claimed first place in the men’s over60 age category which had a field of 78 runners and his time of 1-04-01 was enough to break the club over60 record by more than three minutes.

There were three other Penistone runners taking on the well-established ten-mile race which is held in Pocklington in East Yorkshire and is renowned for being relatively flat and fast – making it ideal for runners preparing for spring marathons.

They were Shaun Swallow (1-10-53), Rob Davies (1-15-32) and Nick Whittingham (1-38-00).

Kingstone Runner Linda Walton was third over55 woman.

Alistair Wilkie was first back for Barnsley Harriers with Angie Slater first woman from the club with a nine-minute PB.

Three Penistone runners took on the challenging Doctors Gate Fell Race which is 12.7 miles in distance coupled with 3,300 feet of ascent.

The course traces the historic pack horse route from Old Glossop to its junction with the Pennine Way, ascending to landmarks such as Higher Shelf Stones and Lower Shelf Stones. Those completing the route were Jon Hallam (2-36-59), Simon Pike (2-40-07) and Chris Hodgson (2-44-51).

Penistone’s Steve Owen took on the Stockport Trail Half Marathon and placed fourth in the men’s over55 age category with a personal best time of 1-45-53.

Barnsley AC’s Josh Bird travelled to Spain to run in the 40th Seville Marathon on Sunday.

He finished as sixth British runner in a time of 2-29-33.
