This is a fabulous race, straight to the top of the Old Man and back.

There is a very remote possiblity I may have a crack at this one. Any advice re the course other than it looking incredebly steep 2400 ft in a 6 mile race seems like a lot in otherwords you've got to climb 2400ft in 3 miles. How much is runnable and is it a mad idea only the week before snowdon?
It's runnable all the way to the Walna Scar road, then it takes a good leap upwards. So you do all the climbing in about 1.5 to 2 miles. It's a classic course and well worth a day out.Originally Posted by detritus21

Subject to completing Ingleborough injury free I'll be at this one too - good Ben training!!!
I'm gonna have a go at this one. Never done one this severre a climb, hope I can manage it because where I live and the roads I train on are as flat as a fart.Taking the family up from Humberside for the day out. Hope it's not slinging it down with rain
Could someone please tell me what time the Race starts, I've mislaid my fixtures handbook.
It's in the book as 2pm.

Many Thanks
I did it
It was steep the longest steep continuous climb in a single race or at least that what it seemed like. The descent was interesting as my legs were in bits.
Was an interesting comeback race for the fells though
