I'm thinking of going up to this tomorrow with a couple of kids. Never been before and am a bit confused about there being a Rusland 5 race and a shorter senior race. Is the shorter one the old guides race?
What's it like and which race should I choose?
they dont involve that much climbing thats all ive been told
I ran and ran until my Muscles burned and my veins pumped battery acid, ....And then i ran some more.
Just in case anyone else goes next year!
This is a great little Cumbrian sports and show just south of Grizedale Forest. I ended up doing both races, in common with a number of other people.
The first race is a 5 miler partly on rough tracks and then fell side, mostly runnable. The second is a much shorter race that climbs a nearby knoll, I couldn't run it all. Small fields for both.
Also handicapped track races entry on day.

I did it and i enjoyed it.Not done a fell race for twenty years and only started running again 10 month ago. I would say it's a good starter the 5 mile race.
I did it too with my bro, he cane 2nd. i found it a little tough, i am out of shape. enjoyed it though. runnable, apart from blowing up on first climb, lol
anyone seen any results?

That was me Dunny, you were the one who said you were never doing another fell race!,lol.You were parked next to me in the Focus i think.
This is true i did say that.
It was the most knackered i have been in my life ever.
It will have to be a baby fell race with little hills.
I'm looking for another to enter but think i will have to train a little harder.
I was stuffing my face the night before with beer and chocolate don't think this helped.
Am up that way in a couple of weeks and im hopefully going to give it a crac, whats it like.......Anybody
How much is that doggie in the window.........?:w00t:
