The problem is finding cushioning with a low profile ... sore feet or broken ankles?

Mudclaw 270 for me. You'll never hear a bad word from me about the Inov-8 :closed:

So, do you advise road shoes or ice skates?

Neither. These are perfect conditions for barefoot running.


This does not constitute offical kit advice.:wink: The organiser has been drinking.

So have some of the runners. This does not constitute official training advice.

James Logue & Nicky Spinks take the honours. Well done to all, tough underfoot conditions.

What can I say this is probably the best organised event of the year, thanks to all the people who made it possible, free `T` free Tea, soup and cakes it was worth all the pain just for the goodies at the finish.
Thankyou once again.

That wasn't a fell race it was survival. After my mate fell badly on ice we just bumbled round slowly- it wasn't worth risking a serious injury!

The first and the last hour were great but the luge/farm track section was pure evil, even the grass was slippy!!!!! Still enjoyed it though thanks to all who made it happen.

I just wanted to say thankyou to everyone who turned up today for showing such good judgement. The one sprained ankle that needed assistance could just as easily have happened under other conditions, and those of you who tumbled seemed to accept it as part of what you'd signed up to. Special thanks to those who gave up their challenge to help the injured ankle off the moor, and to all the marshals who made sure everyone was accounted for.

Even as the race was underway I was still questioning whether I had made the right call in going ahead with the race. And still now: Did I make the right decision, or the decision I wanted to make? Hmm... On balance, I think it was the right choice, but only because everyone else made the right choices too. So I'm glad you all had the chance to take on the challenge, and even more glad that you've shown that individuals can make good judgements and allow events to go ahead in less than ideal circumstances. There's no way I would have sent a relay off over the same course today, as I think the pressure of letting a team down would have pressured people into taking part against their better judgement. So right call for the PBW, hopefully you agree right call for the Trog. Or maybe if you're nursing your bruised bottom you disagree?

Thanks again to all. For me that really was what fell running is about today.
