I'm gonna be pedantic for a second if I may Stagger?:eek:
It's Allan Greenwood;)
Confusingly, Alan Greenwood organises the Hebden etc as in: http://www.alangreenwood.biz/
Anyways going back to WHC I'm sure Allan/Stringman will post any updates on here (like he did re:Ovenden) if not on his ogdenwater site.
Aww i hope there's a big thaw im bored of the snow now and i fancied a long run on Sunday. If the snows anything like it is up on Bull Hill it ll be a struggle, it was quicker to crawl through the drifts the other day. The LDWA event 2 crosses, goes up there on Sunday, should be fun for them :eek:
The White Holme Circular fell race is now CANCELLED.
Conditions have not improved sufficiently to run a safe race - I have to consider runners of all abilities.
The short course I had in mind, through deep powder snow, now has a shin wrecking frozen crust - no fun at all; and the Pennine Way is an ice rink.
Runners only want to run. There is no fun for runners in a non-runnable course.
I have made the decision now as the pub needs to know for catering etc.
This is my second race cancellation of the year and it's only two weeks in.
Sorry if you were looking forward to competing.

Appreciate you letting us know in good time. Thanks as always for your efforts, Allan.
Looking forward to next year already!
Good shout Allan, safety first. Lots of people may be dissapointed but thats a minor consideration compared to a risk to life and limb.
Note for Allan Greenwood;
Allan, I contribute to the Telegraph & Argus Athletics column. In the hope of supporting the White Holme race we'd already mentioned it an article that gets published on Saturday and was submitted before the race cancellation. It does stress that anyone thinking of doing the race should visit your website or this FRA forum page before setting out, so I fervently hope that it doesn't cause any problems. Apparently once the wheels are in motion it's not possible to submit changes.
Just thought I should offer an explanation rather than you or someone else read the paper and wonder why the cancellation isn't mentioned directly in the article.
Hello folks,
Please support this race on Sunday if you can.
Full waterproof whole body cover MUST be carried / worn.
NO KIT - NO RUN.
After last Saturday's snowstorm thwarting my Ovenden race, keep an eye on this thread for any late updates/cancellations due to freak weather...
Cheers, Allan Greenwood
