Really enjoyed that one today - Many Thanks to all the marshals
the diagonal traverse ascent to White Nancy was interesting
especially happy to've got up Nab Head for the first time ever! deffo going to go up that in training in future
mtbb - I finished in just under 58mins if that's any help
Great race with a fast flat start and long downhill finish...the middle bit was tough though.
Enjoyed the cup of tea afterwards
Enjoyed yesterday but couldn't quite get Marvin back on the run in - another quarter of a mile maybe? Just managed to beat Blue Haywood - a very polite young lady who thanked me for holding the kissing gates open for her - she didn't give me a kiss though!
Great event and well organised by Andy - good to see lots of faces from the past. Craig Harwood took a leaf out of Dave Woodhead's book by standing on a table to announce the winners. I used to run these hills regularly when we lived in Kerridge but now I'm in North Wales they don't seem quite as steep somehow!
That race was a belter!!
Good turnout and although my preparation was hardly text book, I really enjoyed it. Funnily enough, the tea at the end was fantastic.
I know what you mean by the diagonal ascent of White Nancy Daz... my ankles really suffered on that... I think you probably had a good 5 minutes on me by the end.
Thanks for organising it Andy... looking forward to it for next year?
A total of 130 runners, with a lot of local and unattached and all but 2 finished. The results should be posted up today on the FRA results page, Macc Harriers site and Bollington Festival site.
Apologies that the food did not arrive faster, and that there was little in the way of water at the finish. Blue also caught us on the hop with the prizes (a non drinking runner!), so we are offering her a kit voucher.
This was an organisational first for me, so thanks for bearing with it all. The intention is to make this an annual event, and next year the organisation should be a lot smoother.
Registration for the race will now take place at the Bollington Brewery just up the road from the Vale Inn (Adlington Rd.) There will be hot food, tea and beer served to all runnersThe Brewery will be open all evening serving real ales and there will be a lamb or hog roast and maybe some live music!!
Also just in case it helps give you a 'pass' there is also a Family Picnic day taking place on the rec. opposite - Bouncy castle, slides, facepainting and organized ball games. Fun starts at 11.
Oh, and Camp4 will be providing a shop at the Brewery! See ya there
Is the race staring at 2pm?
Also is there a map of this on line?
Here's my track from last year. I hope you can make sense of it.Originally Posted by novice
