2022 Rainow 5 Fell Race (Final Report & Results)

Wow – great to be back after a 2-year break due to the pandemic.

A record number of runners – 236 –  made for a great atmosphere. Big thanks to everyone who helped out on the night as well as thanks to the runners for car-sharing and those who walked/jogged or cycled to the start this year! We had a large contingent of Macclesfield Harriers (50) as well as 31 “visitors” from Chorlton as well as lots of other club runners and unattached runners and, as it was May the fourth, we also had brave people running in great Star Wars costumes. Lucas Parker (Stockport Harriers) stormed back in an amazing 31 minutes 54 seconds; the first lady was Rachel Hall (Macclesfield Harriers) in 38 minutes 51 seconds. Macclesfield Harriers claimed both the men’s and the ladies’ team prizes. Big thank you to Red Willow brewery and to Running Bear for donating fantastic prizes. There was a great post-race atmosphere with an amazing array of supply of cakes from the Rainow Pre-School Parents! With lots of pre-entries this year, on the night donations were presented to representatives from local charities which benefit our local environment, safety outdoors and supporting the village hall — £500 to Cheshire Wildlife Trust (Kerridge Nature Reserve), £500 to Buxton Mountain Rescue & £500 to the Rainow Village institute. Also with entries on the day and the cake sale, over £400 was also raised for Rainow Pre-School.
