no apologies for bumping this
only 39 entries last year
deserves far more
can't let this race fade away

Thanks for the plug Daz, we're hoping for a much bigger field this year - some locals from the village are rumoured to be doing it plus two clubs have made it part of their champs this year. I'll be on registration by the sound of it plus a bit of marshalling.

Gutted. There's no way I'd get round. My legs are still wobbly from Snowdon. One of my faves from last year.

I'll be there for the third time tonight. It's got a remarkable lot of climbing for only 5.5 miles around Macc Forest - I made it about 1000 feet!

[DazTheSlug]

this is the only race I've "streaked" for the past three years
4 tonight
sub-50min target

oh, and I make it 1200ft!

superb as usual last night
Many Thanks to Pete and all his helpers
well up on numbers (over 80 I think?) partly thanks to Macc/Congleton/Wilmslow reviving an inter-club trophy competition
good to speak to Joe (racing) and lantern (marshalling)
I seem to be getting the hang of this racing lark, knocking 3 mins off my course PB with 48:18

I'll be there. I did this a few years ago and it's a great race - very steep and horribly runnable. Will this count for the forum champs?
