Full results can be found here  Interestingly the results are a part of a spreadsheet which shows everyone's results for the race since 1992.  Which, if you are that way inclined, allows for easy comparisons to be made.  Mind you, the first thing that struck me when I looked back over the results was - how it charted my decline over the years!

2nd place - Ryan Barker

As I have posted previously though, this is one of my favourite races and looking at the spreadsheet a couple of times stand out, in particular the 71.40 in 1992 (sure I have ran faster on this course - will have to check back through pre -1992 diaries) and the 73.18 in 1997 when I won the race outright for the second time (this is still the M40 course record).

3rd place - Simon Lambert

4th Steve Middleton (Thirsk & Sowerby) and
Andrew Meskimam (Dewsbury) 5th and 1st M45

The race is usually held as part of The Bishop Wilton Show, which this year was, unfortunately, cancelled due to all the recent rain we have had.  But, any way it is definitely a race I would recommend and when the Show is on a good family day out.  Oh and I almost forgot - the beer tent is usually about 10 yards from the finish line - you couldn't ask for more.
