Haworth Hobble

[stevefoster]

I'm never keen on running past pubs :closed:

It's not a natural movement and can lead to injury, best avoid it tbh

First time at the HH and looking forward to it. What is the route like underfoot and is there a detailed map/route description I can download?

Cheers

Good question Irish ! You beat me to it. Bought the OS map, so halfway there......................

Still building mileage? There's a 26 mile training run from Heptonstall on Sunday (about 20 of us running) - following the route of the 6 Trigs / Mag 7.
Mixture of Tod Harriers and CVFR plus a load of forumites from various clubs - all welcome.
See Mag 7 thread if you're interested.

There is a route description on the application form and a reasonably useful map here:

My first time this year and from what I've heard some sections can be quite tough on the legs, think steady slow pace is in order for me

cheers for this, I think I need to have a closer look at the OS map. Whats the consensus on footwear, is it fell shoes or trail?

[Jez Hellewell]

I'm hoping to get by with my trusty Roclite 312's, but would welcome opinions !

[Dave Hardy]

Hoping trail shoes will do since that's all I've got at the moment!

[protodoc]

Seriously considering my Mizuno wave harriers as a good hybrid for trail/fell

Fell, trail or road will do.

Last year I did it in road shoes.

This year I'll be sporting my brand new Hokas http://misanthropicrunner.blogspot.com/
