Can someone clarify start time please as flyer states 7.30pm and other websites inc Facebook say 7.00pm
weather looks good for tonight!
should be a good one.
Collected the t-shirts for the race last night and if I do say so they look very impressive!
£3 for a race with a t-shirt and all the money taken for the race all goes to charity!
You can't get better value than that!
Senior race starts at 7.30pm junior race starts at 7pm.Quote:

Absolutely perfect weather and the route was virtually bog free.
99 runners enjoyed a brilliant evening out!
Cheers Lostock AC and the many marshalls on the course.
Well done and Thanks to Hopey and the Lostock crew for organising a cracking run tonight. Couldn't have asked for better.
Aye thanks to Hopey and his team!
Twas a bit hot-but then its not 16 stone of muscle i carried round with me!
My best mate left me for dead after the first climb-oh and Hopey, the t-shirt does fit mate....well its a bit...snug? Wont be wearing it in public just yet.:w00t:

My first time doing this race although I know the area well. An absolute cracker and thanks to all the organisers & marshalls. I saw one guy bypass the climb to the pike and carry on along the road back to the pigeon tower. Not sure if he realised or not but by God, I envied him!
Thanks for all the positive comments, make it all worth while.
Thanks everyone!
Well done everyone pics at www.sportsunday.co.uk
Well done everyone - Great race wished I had been running now rather than taking pics. Nice to meet Hopey and Dylan. Loads more photos to come tomorrow:

Thanks Lostock. Had a great time filming with the head cam. Got a wee bit steamed up at times. Looks like there may be some good footage though.
A race and a T shirt all for three quid! Going to wear the T shirt for the Duddon bash on Saturday night.
Count me in again for next year.

Massive respect, we set them off 30mins before everyone else as they didn't want to keep the marshalls out, but if they had of set off at the same time as everyone else they wouldn't have been last.
Results are now on the Lostock website

Great effort by Mike with a great guide in Paul. The thought of keeping on your feet with impaired vision on that terrain is daunting and impressive.Quote:

Many thanks to you for putting on this event, particularly in those conditions. It was ok and enjoyable running, but respect and thanks to all the marshals and mountain rescue personnel. I look forward to next year!Quote:

Like most race organisers who organise races on Winter Hill, we are also having fun with UU trying to put this race on.
As it stands we're being told we can't run on part of the course, so we're trying to find an alternative route, as soon as I have a route I will let everyone know.
With everything that is happening with UU there is a chance that this could be the last Hendersons End. Racing on Winter Hill looks like it might become a thing of the past.
I ran Hendersons End for the first time last year - weather atrocious - but absolutely loved it. What are the issues with United Utilities? Is there anything that we as members of local clubs (Burnden Road Runners in my case) can do to put pressure on UU? I am assuming it is down to access to land?

Next weeks race is going ahead, but there's a route change and it's likely to be the last Hendersons End fell race.
any 2013 results yet?
Er, the race isn't till Thurs.Quote:
