Chicken Run

[John Peel]

This race is on Saturday in Hayfield. Does anyone have anymore details on it?

EDIT - just to answer my own question. I've been informed this race is all set to go, flagged and well marshaled.

Any info on route please?

RO told me she has the route on Strava but I'm failing to find it, other than that she said she would email me the route, I can post that when I receive it.

I've no idea about the route (but Lantern Pike would seem a good bet), however there are other things going off around the village during the day. Here is the press release:-

PRESS RELEASE
Eventful day in Hayfield: Saturday 5^th April

Three community groups in Hayfield have independently organised visitor entertainment events for Saturday 5^th April.

In the morning, Hayfield Primary School are hosting a “Chicken Run” fell racing program. There are races for all ages; 5K & 9.5K for adults, registration from 9.30am, races from 10am, adults 11am. There will also be prizes, cakes, Easter egg hunts and a clothing sale.

The Kinder Visitor Centre Group are holding their first pop-up Art sales and Exhibition in the Village Hall, featuring paintings of Kinder and the Hayfield landscape, by six different local artists. This goes on from 10am to 4pm. There will also be a Kinder Trespass display area, and sales of cards, prints, posters and walks booklets, together with all day refreshments – and admission is free.

Handmade Hayfield are holding the latest of their monthly pop-up craft sales, from 10am to 3pm in St Matthews Hall, adjoining the church in the village centre. There will also be optional workshops, demonstrations of craft skills, and refreshments.
So if any or all of these appeal, Saturday 5^th April is a good day to visit the “Gateway to Kinder”, one of the Peak District’s most characterful villages.

So it sounds like it might be worth a trip down there.

Great run today at Chicken Run. The Kinder foothills never fail to challenge. Thanks to the organisers, marshals and cake-bakers. Photos are limited this time due few walking breaks.

RO has said she will be posting results once she's figured out how later today

It was a much bigger turn-out in this second running in the most glorious weather and conditions. While we wait for the results to appear (mine was a PB by over 4 minutes), here are a few photos to be going on with.
