Michael Corralles looking every bit the grizzled snowy mountain racer.

Full snow conditions didn't put off 47 intrepid fell runners who braved the course for the 14th running of the Pipe Dream race. Records certainly weren't threatened this year, but there was still some fierce competition at the front, with Elliot Cox of Buckley and Michael Corrales of NWRRC neck and neck all the way round. Elliot took the win with his superier road speed at the very end.

The rest of the field came back on a high after a racing experience that was probably a first for many. Although the racing line was well trampled most people will have found a few deep drifts to slow them down, and falling into one whilst wearing shorts is not an every day occurrence!
