WHILE a few Otley AC members competed in the Punk Panther Welcome Way Ultra on Saturday organised by Ryk Downes, Matt Podd and Antonio Cardinale travelled across the Pennines to Pendle Hill to compete in the 10.4-mile Stan Bradshaw Pendle Round with 1,936 feet of ascent.

Robin Howie of Wharfedale Harriers won the race in 1:05:48, while Podd finished in 205th place in 1:51:13 and Cardinale was 232nd in 3:02:24.

Also on Saturday was the third race of the club handicap series at Eccup.

Nineteen Otley AC members took part with Tom Hannah claiming his second win of the year.

Having missed the second race, it was not enough to take an overall lead in the series.

Louise Penny retains her lead following an 8th place finish.

Tom Lynch, Dan Atkinson, Nicola Swann and Hannah Lupton also competed in the Welcome Way Ultra at the weekend.
