Will probably be flat Scott, certainly no substitute for Sedbergh or High Rigg

yeh i thought it would not have any climbing in i dont no why high rigg is no longer a championship race it was a great race

What age group?

The race info will go online in due course, but there is some decent climbing.

http://www.dashers.org.uk/ourRaces.htm

All the Dashers races have some good climbing in and are A category or B category - but the B's are almost A if you know what I mean.

All races will be close to max distance - so wth the climbing that there is, they should be a good test.

Flippin ekc, I seem Mr Fleeter was 5th last year, with Pudgy 7th.

If im right by then i may fancy doing this.

[Pudgy]

Yeah, I stopped to tie my shoelaces

There's a fair bit of climb on this, from the word go, and coming back though the park is a bit quick. I doubt it'll be as steep as some of the BOFRA races, but it'll be a good test of climbing and descending on paths.

Might not be High Rigg but I wouldn't call it flat.

Check out these results of the David Staff - a few Wharfedale Runners there - they seem to keep coming back so like the terrain.

Perhaps you should swap notes with your club mates.

doesnt look that bad like you said it will not be as steep as some of the bofra races but its a hill and thats what counts

[fishbulb]

Have a do, fella. It's a nice little race and a good atmosphere.
