One of my very favourite events. Recommended to anyone who fancies trying an ultra for the first time as there's a surprising amount of running![]()

and if you don't fancy running.... plenty of work to do in the kitchen!!
Sent my entry off and looking forward to the race.
Now I should really consider a few things, which hopefully someone can assist with.....
- What shoes?
- What's the navigation like?
- What sorts of foods are available en route?
Mostly good tracks so trail shoes are OK, navigation Ok, food non-existent - maybe a few biscuits at Mankinholes.
As mentioned elsewhere it's a good route for anyone wanting an introduction to the longer stuff.
Hmm... may actually have a go this year... have to ask my (almost ex-)wife if she wouldn't mind awfully babysitting and maybe paying for it as a birthday treat!![]()
Food's fine at the Hobble. Loads of cake, biscuits, hot-cross buns and donutsThere were always hot-dogs too at around 14miles but last year they were'nt there.
Agree re trail shoes and relatively easy navigation. Only slightly tricky bit is in Hebden Bridge![]()

Anyone from Preston doing it
