Mount Famine

[jodg]

At the mount famine race is there anything near by to entertain a toddler for an hour?

I should point out i don't just intend to leave him alone but his mum will be there!

Same thing for me. Ran it last year (it's short & brutal) but this year the missus and kids will be in along. The little playground and a meander around Hayfield should keep them happy for long enough, just hope it's nice - it was freezing last year!

Yes, it's an Elle of a bank you have to climb at the start!

Swoop...I thought you were in Spain, what you doing on here. Don't tell me they have internet abroad now?

Oh yes! Best wishes from Los Alcazares, Murcia.
Warm weather training prior to the Three Peaks on May 9th.

The race finishes in a playground with swings, slides, sand-pit, zip-wire etc. And the River Sett to paddle in.

If you've not done this one before, you'll love the start - just don't go off too quick!

Thanks Geoff sounds ideal for an hour, is the finish the same place as the start?

The start's about 1/2 km away from the finish. You run back past the start near the end, but then just keep going a bit further into the playground.

Does anyone have a map of the route?

Thanks

Is it me or is it gonna be very wet out tomorrow? Don't forget your armbands!

great news! it's a tough enough race without the heat.
might be a few spills, though...

With the rain I guess it would be a bad plan to wear wave harriers ?

To get to the start do I just continue along valley rd?

Also what time should I give to get there from the scout hut?

Not overly familiar with downtown hayfield
