The women’s six to count team finished 66th whilst the age graded competition, which sees athletes given a handicap based on age and gender, saw the club finish 99th. In the veteran competitions, the men were 52nd in 1-54-44 whilst the women were 15th in 2-11-30. Finally the club was able to field a four to count in the men’s over-50 team which finished 17th. Both Hugh Mackie (male under-17) and Dawn Broom (lady over-55) finished in the top 10 in the country in their respective age groupings.
Penistone runners Jon Waller, James Fryers along with Jon’s friend Tom Parzyk formed a team of three and took on the challenge. Jon ran up and down his stairs 538 times, Tom 359 times and James 350 times to give a total height of 3,408 metres. Their combined times put them in 4th place overall in their category.
Hugh was also the fastest Penistone male with 16-32, just in front of Gary Briscoe who ran 16-38 in
The stair-climbing event was used to raise funds for much needed Personal Protection Equipment.
