Glossopdale Harriers have dedicated this race to the memory of its former Chairman John Hewitt.

John loved to race and would ask that you honor his memory by running this race with as much joy and enthusiasm as you can muster. For those of you that wish to race the John Hewitt way we recommend an overly optimistic starting pace, sub-optimal navigation skills, putting on the best "race-face" grin of determination for that finish line sprint, but saving most of the day's energy for food, drink (beer or tea!), and lots and lots of laughter with friends.

Those that knew John miss him so much, but his memories are never too far when we're on the hills.
