Maybe we should discuss how disappointing it was that the likes of Rob & Danny Hope went of to Northern Ireland leaving easy pickings at Bunny Run 1 for Jorge and crew;)Quote:

Sorry for the rushed edit. The sound track doesn't start until 2 minutes in after a very hazy, shaky long range shot which I won't try again. This weeks Bunny Run video is now "on" or at least the first part is. I tried a different approach this week and I have the finale and chocolate mountain to finish editing. This should be on by tomorrow. It will be heavily edited due to upload restrictions. The weather was crap for filming, but no excuses, its a great learning experience! Thanks to all those that said they enjoyed last weeks video. http://vimeo.com/4188467
Okay this is it. The never before seen event! The Bunny Run chocolate giveaway! Watch the little runners and the big runners drool over a table laden with chocolate and a close-up of Holmesy's grizzled face as he once again "brings home the bacon" sorry chocolate!

Lovely day for a Bunny Run!
Bunny Run #3 tonight! 7.30pm
http://woodentops.org.uk
:eek:Boy was that fast tonight must have been some really quick times in the top order, think it must be the fastest to date
Some photos on http://woodentops.org.uk
... more photos and results tomorrow.
Actually watched it!! Holmes won seemingly with ease, or so it appeared. Was impressive to watch an actual fell race, never done that properly, really liked the laps, so saw the start, end of the climb after the egg stage and then the finish, great little spectator venue.
Quite scary that most of the first 20 or so hardly looked that out of breath, am usually too slow to see these people run!! Took little biara to watch and she thoroughly enjoyed the spectacle.
There were some awesome looking runs from some of the juniors, really fast, definitely some people to watch in the future. All in all an enjoyable way to spend the start of the evening..

I did my first bunny run at Haworth it was a killer, its a poor du when kids pass you.
Never underestimate the kids ;)
There's another Bunny Run thread - can we cut this one?
Someone left a bunch of keys at the race (with a bottle opener on). Contact Dave Woodhead to get them back.
The video has been edited but I'll have to wait a couple of days until I have a fresh allocation (500MB free per week) of "hosting" space and can post it on Vimeo.
Tried a few different viewpoints and got Holmesy at the finish. This may be the last as I'm starting to get some flexibility out of this bl**dy achilles and have actually started running. If you can call 10 to 15 minute sessions running.
Richard started that thread as well....greedy mug.Quote:

There are prizes for the overall leaders after Bunny Run 4.
(Doing the calcs was a bit of fun, and nearly caused meltdown on my PC, aggregating results from runners who run in different numbers at each race, especially as some runners ran under different age classes and even under different names!) But we think we have it nearly sorted.
We'll be scrutinising it over the weekend ready for the 4th and final race, but we've published it on the web site so you can have a look and if you do spot any clangers then it'll help if you PM me.
Video of Three now up and running. Is it an improvement or not?

It's the final Bunny Run on Tuesday. 7.30pm start. The word is that Ian Holmes is resting on his laurels as he's won the series, so who will win Tuesday's race and carry off a pile of chocolate for a win on the day and 2nd place in the series?
Rumour has it Smales is running.:eek:
Hope it's not full moon:p
Bit of a gloomy evening for photos, but some here

I managed to get in 3 of these Brutal Bunny burn ups and just wanted to say cheers to the Bunny organisers - top events, definitely going to be back next year.

Belatedly, I thought I'd post my thanks for a cracking race. My first race for about 15 years and a real eye-opener. I was anticpating a nice easy short race with great views but far from it. I held back at the start because I naively thought most had gone off too fast. Not a moment to relax with lots of little scroats(apologies -highly fit junior runners) always trying to overtake uphill or downhill. I've never had to concentrate so hard on a race. I hadn't a clue as to when the finish was coming up. I couldn't even relax then because somebody was pushing me all the way to the line. When I turned round to shake hands and say 'Cheers, mate' I was greeted by another 5 ft highly fit junior runner. Great craic in the pub afterwards. For the next 4 days I was totally drained and am only now back into training at the same level as before. I'll be back. Thanks a lot, Bunny Master!
Yes, they are pretty intense :eek: The races are quite something as well :D
When they were run from The Guide Inn above Keighley there used to be a bus load of army cadets turn up and race who were equally competitive though not all were up to the challenge! Great fun.
Bunny Run 1 is less than a day away!
Tuesday 6th April, 7pm

I considered venturing over to run this, but the travelling-time to get there (with a suitable park-up/sign-in/warm-up time prior to the start) seemed a bit silly:confused:
Getting along the M62 to Gildersome, then queuing into, & through, Bradford, before heading out to Haworth would possibly have taken anywhere between an hour & hour-and-a-half, at 'rush-hour'??
(heading there via Halifax, as an alternative, would have been equally time-consuming)
(it wasn't that much of an issue when I went over for the 'Stanbury Splash', with that being on a Sunday)
So, sorry, as much as I'd have liked to venture over, logistically it's awkward
Ian holmes wins his like 100th bunny run, extremly fast consitions very dry most ran in road/trail shoes.
Lots of Bunnies Running ....

Enjoyed last nights event more than usual, (I normally find them far to fast and cheerful) only got passed by about 40 12 year old kids. Felt I ran ok for a short race and then found out I was 10 seconds slower than previous races where I felt awful, ho hum.
It was nice to see all the young people going for it big time though.
