Due to my comical lack of fitness, I'm going to pretend that I'm treating this as a training run for a 100 mile effort later in the year, i.e will spend 90% of the time walking and eating.

As far as I can remember it's not marked at all. Just attach a bit of red ribbon to the back of one of the other runners & you should be OK.:w00t:
Great idea, but knowing my luck I'll attach it to the back of Jez Bragg.
bloody hell- Dave- exactly my strategy...you're welcome to plod with me (if you're slow enough)- i know the route well....eskvalley vest and bigbelly should work fine as diagnostic id features....
Carbo-loading has begun seriously here. I had a huge plate of salami sarnies for dinner along with an Eccles cake the size of dustbin lid :closed:
Poacher turned game-keeper
I've had 4 slices of toast in the last two days due to a stomach bug and feel wasted, won't be hobbling sadly:thunbdown:
Will be there to offer abuse for those that are though
Pity anyone who happens to be racing downwind of you.
Don't forget - avoid the top car park (Changegate) in Haworth if you want to retain your sanity and your bank balance. Plenty of detail here
