Looks quite interesting, I might have to seek approval from SWMBO (& arrange a day-off) to do it

just done my on line application for the 14 miler. Otley pub crawl in the afternoon for the folk festival. Sorted !

Don't rub it in Rhino. I have to go back home after with my wife & son ! I would have loved a few ales !!

40? You're keen. I'm up for the 20 as a last long, slow run before the Kielder Marathon.

Is the elev gain correct on their maps? Seems a little low at 1200-ish feet.

Although there is plenty of flattish running around the reservoirs, and having run on most of the FRR route on various occasions I'd agree that is a little low too - as a wild guess and looking at my Garmin stats for other runs in the valley I'd say closer to 1700ft.

Sadly (especially as Washburn valley is one of my favourite low level running areas) I'm not running this event due to lack of mileage in last couple of months.

Have a good day all and enjoy your 'double' Jez!

Ooops, I mean 20. Do I have to commit to 40 now ?

[Vegan Runner]

Is this an easy to follow course? I've got a map of the area. Do I need to bring it?

[Vegan Runner]

Worked out the route. Looks easy enough to follow.

All signed up and ready to go.
