Calderdale Way Relay

TBH, Sale prefer the summer dates instead of the winter. Starting in the light is far better, the running is alot nicer with faster ground and the finish has a better feel to it with everyone outside.

Mlounsey, I think you'll do it. It's a shame that some of the other so called "top" fell running teams are still playing "take my bat home" and refusing to support the event (hello Bingley). Perhaps they are afraid you'll spank them. What you, Karl and Gavin demonstrated was that it is possible to come and be competitive even during the fixture packed month of May. Anyway, as you know, it is still one of the best days out in the calendar and enjoyed by the 90 teams that did show up.

All of the photos, including the finish, are now up on the Halifax Harriers flickr site. Some quite amusing images (hello Chewbacca)

OK folks, the 2016 Calderdale Way Relay is now full, so no more entries please. We look forward to giving you all a warm welcome on the 15th.

We are holding recces. Please see the race page for details http://www.halifaxharriers.co.uk/clu...ale-way-relay/

If you are thinking of coming to one of our organised recces (if you haven't run your particular leg before, this is recommended) please drop the relevant recce leader a text to let them know. It always helps us to know how many to expect.

Those coming to the Leg 3 recce, I will see you at Blackshaw Head (or Todmorden, if you are running both ways). Please park considerately at Blackshaw Head.

If you are running Leg 3 or Leg 4, you will have the pleasure of my company at the Blackshaw Head changeover. Be sure to say hello (I'll probably be the fella shouting at you....in the nicest possible way).

Hi.
I'm sure it's been asked on here already, sorry. Are there any maps of the legs in OS format. I found legs 4 and 5 on racemaps.org.uk.
Thanks.

[manothemoors]

The only maps I know of are the ones on the race page on our site.

And they are off and running.
Nice fast conditions for record times.
