    How did it go?
    I was also there.........leggings and helly, for that full winter-time look!
    Excellent mud, drizzle, and flogging in circles around a piece of parkland for 20 mins. (Why are the women's races sooooooo short??)

    it was surprisingly good, but well churned up after you ladies & the kids had been on it (...its a stock excuse ) that hill was a bit tough, especially on lap 3-tired-legs. Amazingly we're 3rd in the ladies Div 1 and even more amazingly we're top of the men's div 2 - our best ever day, going to be tough next time though as we'll be without some of our key runners. I love the Park Hall course though, have you doen it before?

    I mioght pop along to have a run as a guest at this one but i have never done any cross country so i dont have any spikes. Would fell shoes be OK for this course?

    What time does the Senior mens race start and do you register at the pavilion near the track?

    Why don't people look at the links you put on for them?

    RACE START TIMES
    Under 11 Boys and Girls 12.30 pm

    Under 13 Boys and Girls 12.45 pm

    Under 15 Boys and Girls 1.00 pm

    Under 17 Boys and Girls Junior Ladies, Ladies and
    Veteran Ladies 1.20 pm

    Footwear - Spikes if you have them - proper fell shoes if you don't - not trail shoes - you need the proper studs of a Walsh or Innov8 Mudroc.

    Hi Steve, there have certainly been a few guests running over the years. It'll be worth keeping an eye on the website closer to the first race otherwise I'm sure you can just turn up and register on the day.

    Yep, have run at Park Hall, but not for AGES. I too like the course there: more rolling and not a bog.
    Was my first run at the Lyme Valley course.........a lesson in looking at the route before I race:- didn't really know how far that 2nd lap was (DOH!)

    Well, that made a nice change. just wanted to die at the start of the 1st 'short' lap and go back to the start (like Disco ) but then came too a bit and started progressing. Forumites aplenty, the master is still alive by the way

    My time was well off from last years one. I think I must have been going backwards or doing too many race results and not enough races.
    www.vlaevents.co.uk Fancy something different?
