I spoke to two ladies from the organising team today who had run leg 2 and had gone straight to the end of leg 5 to do the leg finishing timimg. They were still there, cold and wet waiting for the last (lost) finishers at 3.30pm. An awesome effort, Thankyou
Thanks, I'll be referring the volunteers to this thread. It's a monumental event to organise and we couldn't do it without our club runners, very few of whom are fell types, who run and also do all those little jobs that make the whole thing tick....as you have astutely observed.
I have to agree with everything that has been said about organisation & marshalling. A fantastic effort by everybody involved. Thank you. And a massive thank you to the marshalls atop Stoodley Pike, on leg 2, who, when we arrived, we're getting battered by wind & rain. I was glad to be running !
You found Stoodley Pike then?
Ha, just ! Can you believe my team mate from 2 years ago, on leg 1, went wrong again at exactly the same point !!Originally Posted by manothemoors

Well done Halifax on organising a great day out. We had four teams in today, all of whom enjoyed it.
We'll be back next year. Thanks.
Massive thanks to everyone from Meltham AC - our first CWR and everyone loved it! Amazing to see all the club colours huddled together like Penguins in some torrential rain at times as we waited the first batons to arrive! Plenty of familiar faces (didn't get a chance to say hello to Phil Hobbs) and everyone made us feel really welcome in what must be an organisational nightmare. We will be back next year - with two teams!!
Provisional results now up.

Please report any anomalies or address queries to Richard Corney, the RO.
Chaddy...thanks, look forward to seeing you all next year.
Jez....brilliant. Avoid him like the plague next year (handily though, this absolves you of all blame for the navigational errors so I shall have to cease with the jokes).
When the rest of the race photos are up on our flickr, I will put some of the general atmos type shots up. There's one of you lot looking very chuffed with yourselves I think. Well done, see you next year.
Edit...afraid it was Trawden, not Meltham in the photo. Soz!
