    is this a self-nav job or is the route marked?

    route isn't marked, but numerous manned checkpoints and self clips on way round to look out for. Generally its fairly straightforward to find your way around but I suppose if you don't know the area, the clag is down and you find yourself running on your own, it would be easy to go wrong

    Just printed out my entry form Rev, so will see you there. Maybe a pint afterwards ? I think it's my round. It's the week after the Wharfedale Off Road Marathon, so hopefully my legs will be up to it !

    it is a great event but!! the entry limit is 500 and every year only about 350 people finish/turn up on the day, so a high % of numbers always get taken by no shows :angry:

    Re: Swaledale Marathon

    So, could you take a punt, turn up & possibly enter on the day ?

    i missed the boat in 2009 but asked to be put on the reserve list, they contacted me the Tuesday before the race! As it was I couldn't do it.

    Jez like you I posted my form off on Monday, I keep checking for the confirmation email!
