Anyone looking for a race this Sunday and within reach of Loughborough, have a look at this: https://www.facebook.com/CharnwoodCh...bIPts6ibBdaUog . It's a fundraiser for a local Scout Group; I have no connection with them, but I have noticed that they still only have 28 entries for the main race, and they are obviously going to have a lot of manpower out marshalling, etc, so it would be a pity if they don't get a decent turnout.

The route is just over ten miles. The first three or four miles are pretty boring, but the rest is Category B stuff. I know it well, most of the route is paths I use for training.

Entries close on Friday according to the Facebook page, but Saturday according to the SIEntries page. And yes, I know, the entry fee is a bit steep compared to fell race entries, but I think it's for a good cause.
