Three Peaks Fell Race

[Daleside]

Reading all this positive stuff encouraged me to put a form in the post on Thursday - I'm in - 446. Never done this race - never done this distance - never been near the route -its very exciting - best buy a map

When you come to the beautiful Yorkshire limestone country Grit - you may turn your back on the black stuff! well done for entering!

Well done DS - looks like I'm on sweet duty then!!

get your entry form in leon, you dont want to be giving out sweets and missing all the fun when everyone comes running (or in my case crawling) past you on ingleborough

Can anyone recommend shoes for 3 Peaks race?

When I did a recce a couple of weeks ago I used the Inov8 Mudclaw's, which I thought were great, but rather like football boots on the hard stuff, but fantastic on the downhill muddy sections.

First year I did the 3 peaks I wore Walshes, my feet suffered really badly.

Last year, I wore trail shoes, but had studs added to the soles at Lancashire shoe repairs, they where fantastic, cushioning as well as grip

im thinking of trying inov flyrocs again this year, they seemed fine last year. when we reccy'd i wore mizuno harriers which were ok aprt form big blisters on my big toes. also terrocs or roclite 285's i think were popular last year

I've worn Mudroc 290's on my 3 reccies over the 3 sections. Only problem was on Ingleborough in snow and ice. Hopefully you won't get that in late April! I think I'd prefer studs to trail shoes, but something with a bit of comfort for the road sections.

I wore Mudclaws last year (the grey ones, not the more cushioned 320's) and they were murder on this hard-surfaced course. Never again. Mizuno Wave Harriers for me this year.

My number arrived today - 453. Jelly babies for me please Millipede.

Footwear: a choice between Mudroc 330's or Flyrocs. Probably the Flyrocs because I wore them for That's Lyth a few weeks ago and know where the blisters will be. Never worn the mudclaws for more than 12 miles at a time so don't want to risk them on the 3 peaks.

Having said that, the paths off all the peaks are heavily conservated so I'll probably be slipping all over the place in flyrocs if it's wet.
