Is this a replacement/renaming of Ravenstones Brow? Same place, similar distance, etc.

Ooops. Sorry if I've spoilt it for you

I think it is replacing Ravenstones.

Several Manchester Area clubs are using this as a counter in the Run the Moors Grand Prix, so this should help boost the numbers.

Anything more leaked out about this new race mystery race from Tanners Yard in Greenfield yet?

Who's back again this year?! It's my local stomping ground and I run the edges regularly but I'm still getting excited about this years race! One of my favourite runs. Hope to see a few of you there.

Looking forward to this, was thinking Walsh's, but it has been dryish so what do you think about trail shoes for speed?? I remember that first climb from May's Fell race, but don't know the route after????

Thanks to all involved for today's race, it was a cracker. The first few hundreds yards up the field had me blowing out my arse!!!! But if you don't put it in you'll be queuing at the stile. Once on the open moor it's typical peaty up and downs with good soggy underfoot conditions, but thankfully nothing too leg sapping. The last mile is fast if the legs allow it, mine didn't, the buggers. Good turnout of 140 runners, only 50 odd last year...maybe the word is spreading just how good this race is.
