    Race around Ladybower?

    Last week I met a lady runner who told me she was running a 10mile race "around Ladybower" at the weekend (i.e. 26th April) but I didn't get the chance to ask more.

    I've tried to search but can't seem to find out any more about the event. Can anyone shed any light?

    Beautiful area Jodg.Seb coe used to train on the roads near there.If you start on the main road and do the loop, it's about 16miles.

    I did this last year - starts under the dam wall and goes anticlockwise, finishing just above Fairholmes.

    first half is trail, second half is road.

    Well organised and for a great cause, but I think it's fuill this year.

    Aye, it was same day as PPP this year. Lady at my son's cricket club was going to run this as her first road run. According to the results she banged out just over 7 min mile pace so good effort!
