I really fancy this today but can't get to it in time due to other commitments. Have a good one everyone, it's a great race. I don't think it's an ankle turner if that helps britnick, it's hard but you can run it steady if you wish and enjoy it.

Is it EOD? The website says so but P and Bramleys site says pre entry only. I don't want to travel an hour if ill not be allowed to run.
It's Holmfirth Harriers that organise this one. Says EOD on their website. When I did it I entered on the day as well.Quote:

Provisional results are on here -
I helped with the results, so whilst a copy has been sent to Holmfirth Harriers I thought I might as well try and get them on here.;-)
A great run right down to getting orange squash at checkpoint 3, a welcome sugar boost for reaching cps 4 & 5. Then eating a jaffa cake at cp 5 while running like a dying Furby kept me until the end... I'd say it was a negative split for me, but the second part's flatter. You know what I mean. Hoping that raffle number 128 didn't get the Miniature Heroes because I gave that to a fellow CVFR runner before leaving as I didn't want to hang around. Most of all I'm chuffed to have completed the home strait at a good tempo, given that last year I crashed somewhere along Twizle Head Moss and have never felt more exhausted.
Hoping to keep Holme Moss as a regular and now advance into a few even tougher longs. No Bens of Jura just yet though.
now that was a proper race! I've never felt as toasted as I did at the end. £7 for sandwich, cake, tea and a massive bonk - great value for money!
I didn't realise nav skills were required to find the cricket club, I ran up the track to see you all setting off in the distance, so I made it by the skin of my teeth. Judging by the number of locals saying you're not the first to ask directions i wasn't the only one driving around like a mad man. So chuffed the start was delayed. great race.
Well that was tough - easily the toughest fell race I've ever done. I treated it as an Ultra. There was a lot of walking and shuffling involved, especially after the mountaineering. I had plenty of food, water and electrolyte to hand (literally - I ran with my signature two handheld bottles) but I still slowed dramatically with the usual complaining legs. My last food was a gel at the bottom of the final climb, after which I zipped up the hill and overtook a few others to the finish and a lovely welcome as my fellow Glossopdale Harriers cheered me up the field to the line.
