Three club members competed in the so called Burnsall Classic Fell race which originated back in 1870, and in sporting terms for the county of Yorkshire, is considered to be synonymous with the Scarborough Cricket Festival. The course which has remained unchanged since it was first run, is over 1.5 miles with 900 feet of climb, and attracts top fell runners from all over the North of England and further afield. A heavy downpour during the race, resulted in some slipping and sliding on the downhill section back to the village, and some injuries, one of which required the services of the Air Ambulance.
The first of the Scarborough trio to finish was Oscar Guallar who had earlier seen his wife Louise Brown winning the road race. Oscar who was making an event debut, finished in 29th overall of the 139 finishers in 19 minutes and 7 seconds.
