Last year torrential rain and very strong winds kept numbers fairly small - hope it's better this year.
I'll be there. Looking forward to it - I didn't do it last year when the new route was christened.Quote:

Chris are you the defending champion at this race ?
No, James Logue won last year which was the inaugural race. ResultsQuote:

Great race. I was nearly 4 minutes faster than last year thanks to the better conditions.
Highlight was the Three Musketeers unsuccessfully trying to get to their marshalling point
before all the runners had gone through.:rolleyes:
Luckily I had recced the course an hour earlier so knew where to turn sharp left on to Edge Lane.
A few minutes later Saints Lad came haring down the road from the opposite direction followed
a short while later by Roger Rabbit, grinning as usual, and JJ carrying her first aid kit! Classic.:D
Photos of today's race are now online here. Results will be posted Sunday evening.
Best wishes,
KEITH
Thanks Keith.Quote:

Good to see JJ (behind a camera lens!), Swoop, Dom, GrahamB, et al
Thanks to Tod - well organised and marshalled (despite the mickey taking :D ) and a very enjoyable race today, even though I felt terrible on the climb back to the gala field! :o
Shame about the stile after barely half a mile, where we all seemed to have to wait for ages for Graham to get over it before we could start running again... ;) :D
Does that mean you went as the Eagles fly rather than following the twists and turns on the ground? ;)Quote:

Tempted to finally run my first FRA race of the year esp as nowt else planned for the w/e (that's another story).
Also like the idea of an uphill finish -might gain a few places back on all those who pass me between Mount Pleasant and Colden Clough:)
Now club vest or Pony vest?!
Anyone else popping along?
