I'm the organiser, so if you have any questions post them in the other thread and I'll answer ASAP.
Teggs is a notch tougher than the Forest Five with more rough ground on it.
Just to let you know the event raised £280.43p for East Cheshire Hospice. Thanks!
any Macc Harriers about (Macc Lad?) know if this race is going to be run again this year?
BOO-YAH!
Macc Forest 5 - Wed. 29th July - details on Macc Harriers website :D
Here's the details....
Macclesfield Harriers and Athletic ClubINVITE YOU TO TAKE PART IN THE
FOREST FIVE
CHARITY RUN
ON THE PICTURESQUE TRACKS OF MACCLESFIELD FOREST7.30pm Wednesday July 29th 2009Entries on the night onlyParking and Registration from 6.00pm at
Macclesfield Forest Visitors Centre, Trentabank, nr. Langley (SJ 961712)
Under no circumstances must cars be parked anywhere near the Leathers Smithy Pub. Race parking is 600 metres beyond.Entry is by donation to a local charitySorry, no prizes, we want as much as possible to go to our charity
The route is ~5.5 miles mostly on good quality forest tracks but there are some stepped boardwalks to negotiate
At one point there is a route choice; either stay on the dry firm track or to take a slightly shorter line across slippery grass (this might govern your selection of shoes)Arrive in good time; the start is 10 minutes walk from registration.
After the race, runners and officials tend to gather in the
St Dunstan Inn in Langley
I so love this race :)
If anybody's thinking about it but not sure... JUST COME ALONG - you won't be disappointed :cool:
Should I really do this so soon before Borrowdale?:confused:
It's a great run and in a good cause, and I ususally love it, but Borrowdale is a BIG 'UN and the recce the other week nearly wrecked my knees (that's what surfing off Scafell Pike on all fours does for you).;)
I don't think I can resist the Forest 5...
go on, go on, go on!Quote:

where does the route go ? Is it just up and around the trails ? Top car park ? Chapel ? Or does it go out to Shutlingsloe ?
I'll be there and if the weather is anything like today I expect to get very muddy:)

basically, Ridgegate Dam - up and round the whole forest - Ridgegate Dam :cool:
most of the trails are pretty stony, so not much mud even if wet
