Edenfield Fell Race

[Stanners]

I'd been chasing the Rossy lad in front for the last 2 miles and nearly caught him the last half mile.
It's called giving it your all and when your as shit as me it's hard

Any thoughts on this ? Worth doing ? just back off holiday and keen to wake the legs up. Any other trail/fell races about this Sunday ? Keen as hell for some reason after Inter counties,might have to start training and everything !

Em defending her title ?

Errrr NO!!

good race though, well marshalled etc and a bit of everything. Certainly worth doing to wake the legs up.

Don't forget this race on Sunday 6 June at 11.30 am, starts at Edenfield Cricket Club (near Ramsbottom; back last year after a long break, slightly revised but testing course.

Great conditions today for the race running in light rain This was supposed to be a "loosener" after doing Duddon yesterday but when I got to the Trig point I ended up racing back with a small group. My legs feel a lot better now than they did before the race so the loosener worked. There seemed to be more people here than last year but it still deserves more runners as its a cracking race
My thanks to the Cricket Club, organisers and marshalls (Cantona was out at the Trig point doing a bit of marshalling ) for putting on the race.

Thanks to the organisers, the many marshalls and the cricket club. A good testing course, with a nice mix of paths, bogs and tussocks (and a steep climb towards the end just to finish those legs off). Look forward to doing this one again.

As some of you may remember, this race was resurrected by Tony Graham of Edenfield Residents' Association in June 2009. Tony was passionate about keeping traditions going and was really pleased to see the race back on the Fell Calendar and regaining its popularity. I have just learned this evening, that Tony sadly passed away on 21 December 2010 after battling cancer. Tony would want the race to continue and so it will - in his memory. Could I ask that any queries about the race are directed to myself and not to his widow; you can find my contact details listed at Waugh's Well and I think a note will also be posted on the News section with my email and telephone number. Many thanks, Cath Hignett.
