30th Sept

Saw the map for this one, and just HAVE to do it

Anybody else...?

[RhosgadMath]

Aye, should be there though X/C day before but actually this one so good then should prioritise it.

Generally a very fast route and all quite runnable on ascent, second half of descent is a flyer!

Superb time by Rich Roberts last year, hopefully he'll do it again this year so we can have a progress check.

Yeah we'll do this. Looks a nice race, never been down there either. It's also a Sunday race so I can do it.

Bit surprised at how few people did this last year (for such a lovely looking race), so thought I'd better just check with the organiser (Yiannis Tridimas) before deciding to travel across from Manc...

Just got an email reply, and it's definitely ON

Hopefully there'll be a good turn out...

50-80 runners seems to be about normal for most races around Snowdonia, well for those not in a championship series anyway.

I was suprised when I first started racing here having raced in the Peak District with 200 plus runners even for evening races, and having heard about lakes races, but we don't seem to get the numbers.

Only 60 odd did the Foel Fras race, and the Peris race. I quite like that number of racers, enough to have an atmosphere without the congestion of the peak district races.

It seems odd to me that Welsh races have so few runners. There are even fewer in South Wales races. But like you say Iain R you get the atmosphere and not the congestion.

Anyway with Thievely Pike cancelled it's the only race in the book that weekend isn't it.

Let's hope there are no sheep in the start & finish field.

Great organisation again today from Yiannis and the gang! Four soup options, the cakes were fantastic and the whole atmosphere was brilliant. This is a classic rough and tough fell race!

Photos already there from Alastair! www.wfra.org.uk - what a contrats to the finely manicured lawns of Eirias Park at Colwyn Bay for yesterday's cross country. Lots of today's runners did both and they all had a much better run today!
