yikes, that is fast. my guess is it will transfer well enough for him to be challenging at the front. it is only 32 miles; it's not like it's a 50 or 100 miler where some of the others, like Andrew Horrobin (Helm Hill) come into their own. But equally I think the strong fell runners who can do distance, like the CVFR guys, have a good blend of speed and endurance over this type of distance and mixed terrain.

should say the women's race will be good too - Jo Buckley, Sally Fawcett, Jane McCarthy, others too I'm sure.
