Thread: Gisborough Moors Race

  1. #141

    Re: Gisborough Moors

    Yeah, the course is quite dry and I dont think any rain will make a difference now. Its a classic race and really excellent local event. I would still wear fell shoes though for the rock and the first ascent/last descent as it will be slippery. if anyone can marshal - still need marshals for Roseberry and Cooks if you look on the Nymac website and contact Dave Parry. Also remember if its hot this race is a bit of a killer - so dont take it lightly - I'm a midfield runner and I took out a good of the local stars a couple of years back in the heat on the last stretches. Map is also on website. See the rest of you at the 3 peaks

    Martyn, you mention 'the rock': I'm trying to recall where there's rock on the course. Can you remind me please? (I'm not sure what to wear now!)

    I have always worn walsh in the past, but in these conditions (bone hard) I will probably go for trail shoes.

    The race is not won and lost on the first/last hill. There is a great deal of running in between.

    An aphorism worthy of the Oxford Dictionary of Quotations, Trog.

    There's been no real rain today and forecast dry and sunny for tomorrow so it'll still be bone dry and hard under foot and so trail shoes will be the order of the day for this race.
