| My thanks to all those who helped with the organisation, especially Brian Kennedy and Mick Roughneen and all those from Newburgh Nomads. Thanks also to the landlord Alan Williams and Burtonwood Brewery for their support. I'm sorry I couldn't be there in person for the second year running, this time due to a back injury that may require surgery (again). Once again I missed seeing you all. Congratulations to Rob Hope on his convincing victory over fellow newcomer Jason Hodgson and a much improved and thinner Brendan Bolland. Rob was 3 seconds up on last year's time from Neil Wilkinson and just 1 second outside Mark Croasdale's record which has now stood since the inaugural race in 1995. Apologies for the mistake during the results presentation that omitted to mention Jill Robinson (Garstang) who should have been given the LV45 prize (in fact she also beat all the LV40 runners as well). Thank you also to everybody that turned up. I hope you all enjoyed the race despite the mud and wind. Once again I am attempting ""free"" e-mailed results. I hope it works for you if not please let me know. I'd be happy to send results by this method to anyone requesting them, see address below.
