All dressed up with somewhere to go: Runners get in the spirit of Hogmanay hill race

-

Competitor­s in fancy dress run across the Pennine tops near Haworth in the traditiona­l Auld Lang Syne Fell race, which attracts hundreds of runners, many in costume. The event attracts both elite runners and those taking part in a fancy dress competitio­n, meaning the field boasts everything from Olympians to an elf and a surfer. Alistair and Jonny Brownlee have been regular competitor­s in the annual event. The brothers won gold and bronze respective­ly in the triathlon at the 2012 London Olympics. Every participan­t who makes it to the finish line gets a free bottle of Daleside beer.
