Thanks Graham. I wasn't sure if it had stuck at £20 or not post the World's. I can't remember the last year (of two) that I ran it, probably 2007, it was never my favourite race.

When it started taking me over 4 hours (in my 50s) the fun went and I stopped; but as a Bank which instead of paying its customers interest provides them with a decent trail race, it has its merits.Originally Posted by Bob

As a long race its got everything in it that I enjoy about running, a bit of road, some easy underfoot trails, a river crossing, a boggy section, a bit of X Country, some long steady climbs, some short technical descents, a bit of all sorts really, and the post race presentation in the marquee has a great atmosphere.
One of my favourite races of the year. It nearly kills me every time but something keeps drawing me back.
This year will be my 10th Three Peaks in a row the first being in 2008 at 51 yrs old. its a fantastic] race
Its my 60th year this year and the race will be even harder as running the London Marathon 6 days prior as one of my 60th Challenges. Also doing the Lakeland 100 again in July.

Has anyone been on the course these last couple of days and if so what it was like underfoot. I reccied it 2 weeks ago and it was bone dry, just wondering if the heavy showers over these last couple of days have had much of an impact on the ground.
I'd reckon the only wet bit now may be the bottom of Whernside but I've not been over there recently. I went up Ingleborough via the normally wet route up from Cold Cotes (...not on Three Peaks route!) and that was driest I've seen it. Mind that was just before the recent wet/snowy spell and I'd guess if it rains the Friday night it could well change a bit?
