Henderson's End

Thanks to the organisers of this great race. Big shout out to the marshalls giving up their evening on a night like tonight - much respect :thumbup:

Agreed! Must of been grim stood about in the rain.

Cheers to Hopey and Co for putting on the race. The weather made it just as good as when it's nice and sunny.

Good to see a few faces too!

Glad you enjoyed it, I really enjoy putting the race on.

Many thanks to you for putting on this event, particularly in those conditions. It was ok and enjoyable running, but respect and thanks to all the marshals and mountain rescue personnel. I look forward to next year!

Thanks to all the organisers and marshalls. Big effort in lousy weather.

Will bring a faster boat next year.

Like most race organisers who organise races on Winter Hill, we are also having fun with UU trying to put this race on.

As it stands we're being told we can't run on part of the course, so we're trying to find an alternative route, as soon as I have a route I will let everyone know.

With everything that is happening with UU there is a chance that this could be the last Hendersons End. Racing on Winter Hill looks like it might become a thing of the past.

I ran Hendersons End for the first time last year - weather atrocious - but absolutely loved it. What are the issues with United Utilities? Is there anything that we as members of local clubs (Burnden Road Runners in my case) can do to put pressure on UU? I am assuming it is down to access to land?

UU don't want anyone running on certain parts of Winter Hill, a lot of races on winter hill are going through the same thing, the FRA are aware of it and hopefully will be trying to sort things out.

Next weeks race is going ahead, but there's a route change and it's likely to be the last Hendersons End fell race.
