2011 World Trials

[Epocian]

Next year's World Masters mountain race (the oap version) in Paluzza, Italy, is 5K/500ft for 55+ and 10K 1,000ft for everyone else.

This is another so called 'mountain race' without a mountain.

The presence of mountains nearby, or a vaguely undulating XC course on the flat part of a mountain, doesn't make it a mountain race to my mind.

According to the blurb on the website it's 1 short lap & 1 long lap for the 55+ which adds up to 8.68km not 5k

Never let the truth get in the way of a good story

Good to see Stockport, the undoubted centre of world sport getting some much deserved recognition.

I often run home through Woodbank Park. Local knowledge could be crucial at next years trials.

being able to run four and a bit minute miles might be more useful

Possibly. However I still make myself early favourite.

They have have changed the course from the one originally advertised. Its now about 11km/620m for U55 and 8.6K/500m for 55+.

I've heard a rumour that next years World Mountain Running Champs Trials will be held in Stockport at Woodbank Park. :w00t:

I'm sure I am having my leg pulled but am sure someone will have an inkling on here............................

.................... I hope we don't end up in a public park - I just think that it will discredit our discipline.

How about Witton Park? That would be ok.:sneaky:
