Thanks for all your positive feedback (all being passed on to the team)
We are meeting for our "wash up" meeting on Wednesday
WE NEED YOUR IDEAS/FEEDBACK
The whole idea of the HFR was to create a race capable of becoming a classic/championship event plus a well supported community/village event. The first run is just a prototype. Assuming we run in 2012 (fingers crossed everyone will commit to to this) we are very happy to consider changing/improving any aspect of the race and wider event.
We would be interested in any views you may have on the points below - and any you would like to add.....
Possible improvements for any future running of HFR might include;
Date in calendar (clash with Northern Relays/4 Passes/Feinsdale)
Pre race info
Identify/improve any bottlenecks on route
Identify/improve flagging issues
Idendify/minimise risks - road crossing/barbed wire etc
Water stations??
Start time - later in day?
Safety? Kit checks? Random?
Increase ascent v mileage (Cat A)
Look for any new possible lines to take toute off tarmac/track in favour of moor/bogs/grass (with landowner permission) -particularly between Blake Dean and Hardcastle Craggs
Look lines for steeper ascents and descents / nav sections(wth landowner permission)
More race photos -Involve photograpahers - Sportsunday/Woodentops
Get more people spectating finish?
Marquee in finish field to shelter timers and finished runners
More juice/ biscuits at finish field
Prize giving - timing / location (outdoors?)
More music/entertainment
Junior races
Lower key / short race on Saturday to widen access
