Name spellings, affiliations etc in the archive and the linked results listings available from this page are based on the archive.  In general, the archive uses the spelling first used by a participant, unless the name change is permanent (e.g. when a lady marries), to avoid risk of confusion between people with similar names, e.g. Steve Walker, Steven Walker and Stephen Walker. For doppelgangers (e.g. the two Stephen Walker's who have appeared) identification text may be added to the name.    Please let me know if you are aware of any errors, to RRRresults   

Basic results appear on the RHAC website (click on RRR2013 RESULTS on right Quick Links list). Now available. Additional information (completions, veteran status, etc) is added on this page. Split times are to be made available on the RHAC website; graphical and more digestible tabular analysis is provided from this page (in progress).

In the light of Paul Burrows report (below), I'm interested who (a) used a GPS device (handheld, wrist or smartphone) or not, (b) used written description, strip map, OS map (alone or in conjunction with GPS device) (c) how effective. Email me Henry Marston,  so that we can improve navigation aids next time.

Well done to all that took part! I was spectating, while my wife was running. So I have a few pictures I've published on flikr.
Please pass on to people you recognise in them if they want to see/copy them.

Apologies to SatNav users who had trouble finding the Event Centre. The post code S63 7EW is correct, but is not correctly mapped, even by the Post Office (possibly because mail is delivered elsewhere)! One current computer map shows it correctly, as does my (older) TomTom, but 2 (+PO) show it on Sandygate (2 km west), 2 in Bolton-on-Dearne (to the north) and one north of Skipton, North Yorks! Best to use S63 7ER (52 Golden Smithies Lane) and navigate from there!

In line with a tradition in LDWA events, an award has been introduced for completing the event 10 times. Awards have been made to Roy Varo, Henry Marston, Dave Carratt, Kerry Booth, Mick Cochrane, George Kay, Terry Griffiths, Andrew West, Chris Sanders, David Fox, Mick Marsters, Brian Harney, Ian O'Mara, Tom Hughes, Bob Berzins, Peter Simpson, Percy Wellor, Martyn Gaynor, Barry Harrison, David Keward, Michael Collins, Kevin Uzzell, Malcolm Coles, Philip Gwilliam, John Cunnane, Philip Elliot, Alan Yates, Julian Brown, David Shepherd, Jim Fulton, Philip Haigh, Brian Harwood, Philip Musson, Paul Sorensen, John Clarke, John Hughes, Barrie Bedford, Caroline Boyd, Shirley Hume, David Oxley, Kevin Marshall, David Egan, Marla Howard-Cutts, Pat Rooney and Dave Roberts

Additional awards were made this year to Alison Brind, Mike Elwell, Chris Hume and Jane Matthews  (subject to rechecking).  

That's a total of 45. 

Roy Varo, Henry Marston, Andrew West, Terry Griffiths, Kerry Booth and Chris Sanders have been presented with an award for reaching 20 completions. 

The awards are based on my records; please let me know if there is an error (contact information below). Names get spelled differently in different years (Steve or Stephen), ladies marry, and certain names have been duplicated, easy when there were two Nigel Robinson's in one year, more difficult when there were John White's in different years, from different clubs (which is not decisive) but different DOB (which usually is). 

Retirements are included with main results
