ILKLEY Harriers' Jemima Elgood smashed the women's course record at the Jack Bloor fell race on Ilkley Moor last week.
Her run, which was timed at 45.19, took nine seconds off the course record, and earned her the top ladies prize.
This continues her blistering form, which has recently seen her break the ladies all-time Ilkley Harrier club records over the 5k and 10k distances.
Jack Wood won the race overall for the fifth consecutive year in 38:52, helping the Ilkley Harriers men to second team prize.
There were also prizes for Rachel Carter and Joyce Marshall as first F40 and first F50 respectively, helping the women to the third team prize.
There were plenty of fine Harrier performances in the junior races too with Alexander Wolfenden victorious in the under-13's race and Robert Carter in the under-9's race.
The John Carr Trail Series culminated last Wednesday evening with a relay event where Harrier Jane McCarthy came home as first lady.
McCarthy's positions of first, second and first over the series see her claim the first ladies prize overall.
A great performance saw Nick Helliwell claim a long sought-after sub-40 minute finish at the Pilling 10k on Saturday, finishing in 17th place in an impressive 39:40.
In the Lakes at the weekend, Jack Wood continued his great form with second place at the Fairfield Horseshoe classic fell race, with fellow Harrier Will Buckton finishing 89th.
Dick Waddington and Paul Carman took on the Old County Tops fell race, which covers 37 miles and 10,000 feet over the highest summits of the former counties of Cumberland, Westmoreland and Lancashire - namely Helvellyn, Scafell Pike and The Old Man of Coniston. The pair finished in nine hours 14 minutes.
On the roads, Jean Sullivan completed the scenic Windermere Marathon in an impressive four hours 24 minutes.
On Sunday, 12 Harriers formed a team to compete in the Calderdale Way Relay - the first time since 2014 that Ilkley were represented in what is the biggest off-road relay event in the country.
Excellent performances all round saw the team finish in 55th place of 97 teams, and 10th mixed team.
On the Parkrun front, Tom Adams broke the Oakwell Hall course record coming first in 16.31.
