My second HFR and only just made it to registration (train was delayed getting in to Hebden)
Really enjoyed the run (apart from that last hill!).
Thanks to the organisers, marshals, everyone who gave encouragement & for the random jelly babies / drinks along the way.
Tom, Glossopdale
A fantastic day out from start - great atmoshphere at registration and at the start
to finish - I can't think of another fell race with such a brutal finish.
I fact the whole race is fairly brutal but it's certainly a good tour of the local hills and valleys, with a lot of hard terrain.
A race for the organisers and volunteers - and anyone who runs it - to be proud of.
And great weather too. Look like one of those weather forecasts was right.
Cheers all.
Great event well marshalled and flagged thanks to everyone who helped out especially at the water stop!
Sorry, thought it was Chris - took some of him at the 3 Peaks a year or 2 ago and obviously got the names wrong - he must have been confused when I shouted 'WELL DONE LEEDS'...............!!!!!Quote:

Certainly will try to bring a task force over next year - it's a cracker!
And well done to Midge Timley!!
All set to start in the spring sunshine...

Agree on the fantastic organisation. Proof that the true sense of community spirit still exists in some parts of the country. I want to know where the doughnuts came from as I may have to see if I can get them delivered to my house nom nom :D ... Shift+R improves the quality of this image. Shift+A improves the quality of all images on this page.
The results will be nicely presented in full on www.heptonstallfellrace.org.uk; in meantime here is the photo version. 171 ran so we still had few to come in at this stage.

I should just send my get well wishes to today's outstanding bravery medals; Nick Charlesworth and Matt Haworth who both got nasty gashes requiring stitches (cracking their shins on a hidden stone in a bog coming of Greave Height) I did nt see Matt's injury but Nick's looked pretty deep - can't believe they both ran a further 8 miles to finish before going to A&E. Well done lads! Hope its not too sore tomorrow!
I'll just send them off to the forensic lab to se if they can read them :)Quote:

Many other runners gave a significiant amount of time, along with friends,family, and neighbours- we would need a separate strand to thank them all -but they know who they are!!!
We all had a great day - mainly because a whopping 171 of you supported the race (despite Lads Leap and Mothers Day)
Your kind words and thanks will go to the whole team (so I can persuade em all to do it again next year!!!!!)

It was a great day! Thank you for organising

Great pictures Ady! Sport Sunday make a great addition to the event - particularly as many of us would loved to have run but were busy orgainising - your photos gave us a taste of the action! Enjoyed spotting my mates (looks like they were all having fun)Quote:

Some more pics from around the village at registration and at the prize giving post race plus the last man in who was very happy to have made it round in one piece – well done!! http://flic.kr/s/aHsjzcaqbB
Can we see some pictures of the stitches to the two injured runners – understatement of the race from one of said runners at Lady Royd Farm heard to say, "I think I've cut myself" (you could actually see his shin bone).
P.S. I was taking to Trig earlier and he tells me that the race numbers (kindly provided by Up & Running Hudds) entitle each runner to a £10 off any shoe purchase over £70http://forum.fellrunner.org.uk/images/icons/icon14.png
I'm sure he won't mind as he's posted it on his webpage, but this is Matt Haworth's leg, obviously after being cleaned up & before being stichedQuote:

Hopefully I have attached the photo correctly, this is post stitches after they cut and scraped out the mud that was in the wound.
Sorry never got a pre photo with exposed shin bone.
Leg now very sore and painful, may have to have a rest from running this week!!!
In response to Trigs earlier post on finishing the race I was so annoyed with getting the wrong line to the Standing Stone and losing so many places catching up the front group became priority.
When I eventually decided to have a proper look at the leg thats when I nearly passed out what a good thing adrenaline is!!!
Anyway still enjoyed the race will be back next year im sure.
that looks nasty nick

I reckon you hit that bog (with hidden rock) at 7 miles - to run a further 8 miles with 2000 ft ascent and finish 5th (and there by secure the 1st team for Wharfees) was heroic stuff.
And you want to come again next year!!!???
That's the wharfedale way charlesworth!
Hey Chewbacca whats your relationship (if any) to JediMaster?Quote:

This bog (where both hit a submerged rock) is going to need a nick name.....
On a serious note I will go up there to look at it - don't want any more injuries like this
Thanks TrigQuote:

Only six stitches and lots of stere srips.
Need to take a club with you to that bog to hit what ever is in there over the head!!!!
Blimey guys, there's some nasty looking war wounds going on. I might have to wear shin pads when I come next year (haven't been yet). What did the docs/nurses have to say about running 8 miles on an exposed shin bone Nick? Usual grumbling?

I was nt able to get down there to see how effective (and safe!) it was. Any feeback on the temporary stile appreciated.........
Thank's to all that helped me on Sunday (other runners -Ray Green, CVSRT) it would of been a great race if it was not for that bog!:mad:
would like to say I am feeling better but I am back in Doctors today think I may have an infection, the antibiotics don't seem to be working!:thunbdown:
How are you Nick? Nurse said she had a field day with your wound Nick.:wink:
