Wharfedale Off Road Marathon
Any other forumites planning on doing this on the 2nd June I know it clashes with the Duddon Valley race but its a lot easier to get to and from.
Great route, lovely scenery and for a good cause.

Re: Wharfedale Off Road Marath
I'll be there - agree with you completely about the event. May go easy on the Sticky Toffee Pudding this year though. I think I ran off about 300 calories during the race, and consumed ten times that in the clubhouse afterwards.
Re: Wharfedale Off Road Marath
Did the half last year and it was mint was gonna do the full this time but am away - gutted
Re: Wharfedale Off Road Marath
thought about this or pen y ghent (which is a bit further to travel to) anyone know if it gets full quickly or can you enter on the day for both full and half??
Re: Wharfedale Off Road Marath
My first post!
You can certinly enter the Half on the day - we did it two years ago. Half is a belting run and suspect full is too...

Egor, you can enter online from the St Gemmas web site but actually pay on the day, which covers you both ways. Only down side to that is that you have to pay the increased £2 charge for the on the day entry. Still £14 is good value for race, meal an t-shirt.:D
Re: Wharfedale Off Road Marath
does anyone know or have the route for both full and half, pref e version which theyd be prepared to email through? think will def do it but dont have OS map of area.
cheers
Re: Wharfedale Off Road Marath
Have only just decided to have a go at this one and will have to enter on the day now. Does anybody know the Grid References for the CP's as there are no details on the events website?
Won't be able to recce it but would like to check it out on paper at least. Even a rough idea of where it goes would be helpful.
Re: Wharfedale Off Road Marath
Speaking to someone who's done it a couple of times in past, bare bones are Threshfield RUFC - Grassington - Kettlewell on Dales Way - Over to Litton Dale - Bordley - Malham Tarn - Mastilles lane - Threshfield
Most of climbing is in first half I think and my mate said it was quicker (and a mile or so shorter) than full Yorkshireman
Anyone got more details??

I have a pdf of the route which I can mail to anyone who wants it. Just pm me your e-mail address and I'll send it over.
My Garmin and Anquet software show it as being 23.8 miles (same as 3 P's) and 3500ft. Far easier running than the Yorkshireman.:D
