I'm doing both and I think the rest of my team is. Team Montrail (probably team Vasque now) I'm sure will be doing both as well. Make sure you get out to tick the legs over (even if still sore) it gets the blood pumping around and gets rid of all the dead cells/acid etc. Also consider a sports massage or learn to do one yourself.
I might not get the best time I could achieve - but I'll still enjoymyself

I'm doing both also, If you've done the training you should get through it.

If I can get a pass i'm also going to try and squeeze the Manx MM in before the Skyline. Too much we'll see?

I did both last year. The High Peak Marathon probably took the edge off my performance in Wuthering Hike, but it also gave me the confidence to know that I could get round the 33 miles: so it's probably swings and roundabouts.

I'll be doing both again this year and I know some of the rest of Team Vasque will be too.

does anyone have a better electronic copy of the map for this one than what is posted on the kcac website?

also any tips for a first timer?!?!?

Sorry can't help with map team pie but below are one or two tips :)

1) eat and drink as much as you can but don't have onions on your hotdog!
2) bear in mind lots of climbing still after leaving Stoodley Pike
3) two trickiest bits to navigate are just after leaving golf club and when you're crossing road in Hebden Bridge before going up to Heptonstall
4) they have the weakest tea in the world at Mankinholes YHA c/p
5) if you get lost Keighley and Craven AC vests are red, white and green hoops so follow one of those!

I'm in, race number came whilst I was away.
