Race Date: 30th December
7.8 miles
Amble’s revenge is a multi-terrain race organised by Penistone Footpath Runners held on the last Sunday of the year(a reverse of the Hunshelf Amble race which is held in summer).
A fast start goes along the flat TPT from the top of the trunce field to just before the tunnel but after that things get decidedly hillier and muddier with some grand views from high above Stocksbridge and some fun off road descents. The finishing mile and a half is downhill and fast again and will be familiar to all truncers.
The balmy conditions (over 10 degrees C) may have contributed to the record turnout with 272 finishers including a dozen striders keen to run off the Christmas excesses:
46 | Michael Squires | 01:06:31 | MV40 |
54 | Chris Hodson | 01:07:38 | MV50 |
87 | Claire Grisdale | 01:11:10 | FSEN |
105 | Neil Pates | 01:14:32 | MV50 |
120 | Nick Hails | 01:16:03 | MV40 |
130 | Caroline French | 01:17:22 | FV40 |
