McCain UK Mountain Running Challenge (Blackburn)

3 members of Scarborough Athletic Club competed in the United Kingdom Mountain Running Trial races at Blackburn, which were selection races for the British team at the World Championships which will be held in September at the Italian town of Paluzza in September.

In the Women’s Under 20 race, which was over 3.2 miles with 787 feet of climb, Charlotte Edge who represented England at mountain running earlier this year at Slovenia, finished up in 5th place and must now wait to see if she may gain selection as a reserve.

Louise Brown competed in the Senior Women’s race, which was over 5.7 miles with 1312 feet of climb, but had to settle for 15th after been hampered with a back injury. Louise’s husband Oscar Guallar ran well in his top class selection race of 8 miles with 1837 feet of climb, to finish up in 39th place.
