    new race

    http://www.durhamcoasthalfmarathon.co.uk/

    bound to be a beauty run for anyone who fancies something a little bit different, plenty short steep up and downs on the way along the cliff tops, all on virtually single track trail, and it ends just up the beach from my house :thumbup:

    Re: new race

    amazing run today, first class event organized by National Trust. Only downside was running alongside some guy who kept swearing and shouting each time he encountered some steps down and up the numerous gullies on our way down the coast, he was proper raging all the time because he was losing loads of ground mincing down each set of steps, got so bad I had to have a word at one point, doing his best to spoil the race for anyone in ear shot of him, never heard anything like it from someone in a race, I couldnt get away from him though as he was so fast on the flat sections he kept coming back to me

    no he was just quicker than me on the running bits, he'd probably have won the event if he could've mastered running downhill/steps
