Hi
is anyone planning on doing this one? It's really local for me so I'd like to give it a go.

Never done this before, will it be ok with road shoes after all this rain...?
I walk round Chasewater quite often with my dog, it doesn't really get too soggy although there may be the odd wet bit. i'm sure road shoes will be OK.
I'm pretty sure it is 5k round the lake, so I reckon it's 2 laps.

It's quite hilly by the look of it!
It undulates but the climbs and descents are weeny!
I am quite looking forward to this one. I would normally be doing the 10 miler at Trentham, but I'm just coming back from an 8 month lay off and now find I am getting slower each race I do and not quicker. I am hoping not to go over the 70 minute mark for this one.
See you all there
All the best for Sunday.
I've just had a look at last year's results, there were quite a lot of people taking over an hour so I reckon it was pretty hot. In the few 10ks I've done, I'm about an hour and near the back - I don't think the heat will be a problem this year!
Anyone heard anything?
I'm assuming it's on, we haven't flooded here - just very soggy!
In fact, I didn't get my number in the post - I was a bit late though, so hopefully it'll be waiting for me tomorrow
see you there!

PS GOOD LUCK EVERYONE HAVE A GOOD RACE/RUN
I hadn't done this race before, having tackled the Trenthan 10 miler for the last two years, I found it to be very scenic and got to see the steam train setting off on the second lap. I did meet two guys coming back down the course looking a bit confused. They had found the 7 km marker and didn't realised it was a two lap race.
I really enjoyed the route though and was amazed how dry it was considering how much rain there had been. The marshalls were all really supportive and the whole event was well organised.
See you next year!
It wasn't too muddy - only had to jump over a few puddles!
Emma, I was thinking 'why didn't I enter the 5 km race' as I set off on the second lap!
