I have recently read an artyicle about the 3 Peaks Fell Race, held each April in the Dales since 1954. That first race had six entrants. At least two of them were local lads - Alf Case and Stan Bradshaw of Clayton Harriers I think they were both Accrington Grammar School Old Boys. Stan went on to run in 24 of these races, and Alf became an organiser. I think they are both dead now - Alf certainly is. He was found on the fells in his running kit. Both are 'legends' amongst fell runners. I hope you can tell me more about these lads. I am trying to contact the club and Ron Hill, another AGSOB who has something of a reputation in running circles.
