Is this a good tough race with plenty of hills ?

Don't suppose if its in Buxton, it will be flat. Fancy doing this on sunday and Shutinsloe on Monday.

Yes it is a good tough race with plenty of hills. Add at least 10 mins on your normal expected time for a half-marathon. Don't forget Bamford as well on Monday-------------if your legs are still talking to you. Have pre-entered Buxton so have no excuse

This is what the profile looks like. Interesting, but about 13 miles too much road for me.

Buxton is a great half marathon. Did it once when it was still a 5pm saturday evening race. Bloody tough in places but all runnable. Would do it myself but think it might have a bad affect on my body which is buggered at the moment anyway!!!!!

Th scenery is well worth doing this race for. When I ran it i was imagining the hills being sleeping dinosaurs.
