    447 'runners' at Bradford today. That must be good. Mustn't it?

    Dark satanic mills, a bit like Huddersfield....only joking (I hail from Calderdale).

    Seriously, it is a bit like Huddersfield. Park tarmac paths, on a slight slope, 2 lap circuit.
    Terrain also similar to Heaton, Oldham, and others with no trail/mud.
    I ran it 2 years ago whilst visiting relatives. I recall there was a sting in the tail in the last 100m as you twist up the hill off the circuit to the finish - assuming its still the same course.

    All right for some. The Aylesbury one has been under water since before Christmas! Mind you, I escaped one week and did Burnley instead.

    Beautiful park, 3 lap course (plus a bit); a Teeny Tiny Hill (x3). Friendly, nice atmosphere; but you'd expect no less in Bradford, Colin!

    As long as you arrive by 8.50, you can park on Emm Lane within 30 seconds walk from the start.
