Knowl Hill

[Brummy John]

Just to confirm this race is on Sunday,10th June, 11am in Norden, Rochdale,
6 miles/1300 ft ascent.


Details here


Pictures from 2006 here.


The race is part of the Rochdale Harriers Three Day Event (three 6 milers in 3 days) and highly desirable T shirts are available to the first 70 pre entries who complete all three races. However all races are open and you can do just the Knowl Hill race, and in fact many folk do just the fell race.


Chip butties are available in the Brown Cow, Norden, where the registration and presentation also takes place.
