just got the post code for Eddies Revenge race, should be OL2 8NB..
A big thanks to John and all his marshals who made this a great little event.
A fully runnable course, fast and undulating.
Very big turn out and all went well.
Thanks again.
Can only echo what Stagger said - my first attempt at this race and enjoyed it thoroughly - would recommend it to anyone. At least now I know were the "Revenge" part of the name comes from :w00t:
A great event, thanks John, will be back next year.

2nd time ever
Wish I could say the same!
Thanks for the link; much appreciated.
See you there next year!
Who is Eddie and why does he want revenge, anybody know? Before tonight's race the organiser said a few words about a recently departed local runner who was still actively running into his 80's, we held a moments silence, lovely touch. The organiser also said the course is all runnable, I did manage to run it all but blimey I was blowing, especially up the last climb beside the quarry. Many thanks to all involved and the double toffee cake was fantastic.
I think the "Revenge" part comes from the final bit of the race, where you have to carry on past the finish and do another lap of the quarry.
Not sure about Eddie himself, I heard that he came up with the route of the race - might be a member or past member of Middleton Harriers who organise the race
