Doesn't get easier for us owd uns but there were still plenty behind me (and quite a few in front) but still most enjoyable - I liked the added touch of the "holding pen" before the start so numbers of runners could be counted - just adds to the ever so slightly bonkers feel about the whole event.
My first time racing this little classic.
Thanks very much Noel for a great race.
Any photos around?

Lovely little film. I was timekeeping with Noel. It's a great race and a real lung buster.watching Simon Bailey come down was quite a sight.... Great to see so many familiar faces even though I am always surprised at how cold I get when marshalling and not running...it was bloody cold behind that clipboard!
See you at Teggs!
Good to catch up Simon. Hope to see you again soon.Lovely little film. I was timekeeping with Noel. It's a great race and a real lung buster.
See you at Teggs!
Shock at Shutlingsloe today. Simon Bailey was beaten into 2nd place by Josh Boyle. Great finish - there was 1 second in it.
Helen Thornhill retained her ladies trophy. Results are on twitter - if you can read them. I'll try to type them up later tonight.
Josh beat Simon at the Lantern Pike Dash as well.
This year's Shutlingsloe fell race will be on Sunday September 19th. Entry on the day. Part of the delayed (due to COVID) Rose Queen fete. See you there.
