When is it? As ever, it’s the first Sunday in March, so this year it’s 1st March 2020.
What’s new? Well this year we are using chip timing for the first time. We have also altered the course slightly. Don’t worry, the distance remains the same as all we have done is take advantage of a new bit of footpath to eliminate a short section of road running from the course. There are even rumours of drone coverage (weather and availability permitting).
What’s the same? Still 9 miles of stunning scenery from the top of Bosley Cloud, free parking, fantastic marshalling cheering every runner on, free soup and roll at the end, superb cakes on sale in the sports hall and a donation to the National Trust who look after the Cloud. Go on, you know you want to enter!
Please remember it is at the end of the winter season so weather conditions could be challenging which is why we insist on full kit being carried as per FRA rules. For safety reasons there is also a cut-off time of 60 minutes for runners at approximately 4 miles. If you are not sure that is within your capabilities please consider carefully entering the race as it will be enforced.
The Harriers are looking forward to seeing you all in March for 33rd outing of this popular
