Great route again. Don't know how they find these routes. Mourne Peaks next year..another race with a 'substantial amount of running'...I guess that'll be the Dam wall then..
Did anyone measure the total ascent, felt more than 1250m.
Great race and weekend as usual.
Three travelling clubs provided excellent support for the race - Eryri (18 runners) : Dark Peak (18 runners) : Calder Valley (15runners)
Some good results there..should have left robbie in my ff team.
Lauren Jeska 2nd...i wasnt that far behind her at race to summit last year but she seems to have sped up...what do they put in the water down in Todmorden
Trying to plod up hills every day slightly faster than the day before
Cracking looking country there.
Luke Appleyard (Wharfedale)- quick on the dissent
Agree with the sentiments about the "substantial amount of running". Never done so little running in a race and I am convinced it was more than the advertised climbing. Wonderful scenery, good organisation and friendly supportive marshalls, but race was a personal nightmare from start to finish.
Vowed never to return. See you next year.
@jasesteve
Aye it was more than 1250m by my watch. But only 6 metres more!
Crackin weekend, great weather, awesome route, good mates, same time next year just a little further
Can't wait
"Runners have coordination, skill, timing, fitness, and grace. Take a long, hard look in the mirror
See you next year...do they just move a race to that date or is it a totally new one each year

Narr, I was up bright and early.BLoody bad hangover then ??
If we hadn't been going to the Giants Causway I would have been out with your loving hubby and the 2 mad Irish lads in the 7.30am Mourne Stakes
What a weekend. Proper fell running on good hills. None of yer fast fields and gates stuff here.
Everyone was so friendly it has to be one of the best venues.
PS
Would be an excellent spot for the FRA relays (But not in October) August Bank Hoilday weekend would be good) Just a thought
You lead the way my friend; Haven't washed my face since your tender lick in the pub. Were you drunk? Thinking about it, you CV guys are ever so friendly: Mounsey grabbed my crotch and Paul smacked my ass (not at the same time I might add).
