Anyone been accepted into this? My partner got his entry confirmation today. Looks a lot of fun and it's right in our back yard. Certainly looks a bit different. I'm going to be on duty counting them through just after the 2nd elimination stage to let him know if he should give a good push or give up lol :-)

The Windgather race has been moved to that date! Only a fiver to enter but I wonder how much the Red Bull race cost - can't have been much cos it's already full!!Originally Posted by RaceTheSweeper

Think it was £25 so not that bad compared to some. Yes, you can get a race for a fiver if you want but guess it's up to you what you want to pay.
If you want to pay it you do if you think it's too steep don't enter :-)
Thing with this one is training is literally out the back door so no travel costs. The route comes right behind our cottage :-)
My other half has been accepted too but I've heard nothing yet
I am in for this .. i was thinking of doing it in trainers.. does anyone know whether this would be ok? or are fell/trail shoes required.
Bit of a unique format - should be fun.. no idea whether i am training for a 10m run ro 21 mile one!!
You will definitely need fell/trail shoes.

Pretty good race that needed tweaking from a RO's point of view. good route. I was a senior marshal last year and was hoping to work on it again but they've changed providers. I still have a race sign in the garage which red bull wanted back but they haven't picked it up yet.
any offers?
Interesting to how a (presumably) non-FRA race approaches things:
21 miles, 1400 meters
Mandatory kit - unless the weather forecast is very bad there is no mandatory kit however if the weather forecast is bad (blizzards, heavy rain/winds etc) full body cover (long sleeve windproof top & bottoms) will be required.
So if it's heavy rain, bring a wind proof! No wonder you get people turning up at proper fell races without the correct kit.
Cause tramps like us, baby we were born to run
The kit requirements are probably like that because it's definitely more of a trail race than a fell race. Pretty much all on tracks and well-established paths and pretty low-level as well.
I thought it was a good event, lovely route, lovely area, but very different to a fell race (which is a positive as I wouldn't want to do a fell race organised by Red Bull).
