Yeah good race, wasn't sure on the footwear, but went road shoes as my trail shoes are knackered and was fine. Hope this race becomes an annual event as it was a great fast route. Weather was perfect too. Nice to mix the trails with the fells as they are great for your speed work. Only thing they need to get for next year: http://www.towler-staines.co.uk/midge-eater.htm :-)
They were savage at the end.
