Vic Belshaw represented Denbigh Harriers in the English Fell Championships 2019 at the Stretton Hills Fell Race. This was a very large and high class field of the best fell runners in England. Vic made the top ten in his M55 category in just over the hour. Plenty of sleet, rain and wind at times and extraordinary views of the Shropshire Hills making this a challenging race.
