    Thought it was 5 miles / 900 feet. Has someone re-measured it?

    Great race this one!

    I'll be there N.O.Y.T. and I'm sure the Wharefdale gang will be there.

    Not only is it such a good race on a fine course but the atmospher at prize-giving / pub afterwards with the dashers and David's Dad makes the day one not to miss.

    See you there!
    ...there's a hill nearby missing its fool...

    My favourite Fell Race - love the descent - will be there with a few clubmates for sure.

    Is the minimum age rule new though - 16 (on John Schofield)? We have had a few juniors turn up before for this race - and they've thoroughly enjoyed it.
    I will definitely be getting some requests from some 14 & 15 year olds. They are used to training up there.
