It's quite trail-ish with a long stretch of undulating road towards the end. However, there's a good atmosphere and I really enjoyed it last year.
It's part of the village fete and so the centre of town is closed to traffic. You park on the grass verge by the lane leading from the A65, and it can be a bit of a walk so allow time or turn up at registration already changed and ready to go.
Thanks for that. I like this area for running so hoping to get the half night off to attend. Off for 9 days now so should get a bit of training/racing in :D
The A65 can be a nightmare cos of Appleby Fair. Horse and carts etc
Leave plenty of time to get there
'n campervans too;)Quote:

Might go for this, though I've a 10k race the day before.
