Quite possibly
I shall want to see all those mad souls doing the Picnic! I need to think about the Knacker Cracker next. 
Glad to see so much money raised for Rianna's Fund, my youngest was in her year group at school and I think it's a very special charity for a lot of people in Ashtead so thank you for your efforts!

I laughed all the way around 2007 just watching the Picnic-ers, they are completely bonkers.
It really takes your mind off the pain your own legs are going through
I loved it this year so I will be there again next year. All other races since have been a little bit dull.
For some strange reason, I am considering doing the Picnic. Mad.
Can't do the Knackercracker as we go away for Christmas but I'll sign up for Leith Hill.
Great to see so much money raised. Well done.
I was considering the Orion. Looks really good but its the same weekend as the Ballbuster and I've always wanted to do that.
Would love to do this one Dr Robert, but having just now realised that, after the run-through, the race won't actually start until 6pm (or later), it will leave it far too late for me to get back home at a respectable hour. Sorry.
Couldn't the race be done without the run-through? Why does it start at 4pm?
Ermm ...... run-through on 6th June, race on 20th June....doh!!
Might enter after all......................................
hi there,
by the time this event comes up, i'll have done two halfs that are quite flat. would i be biting off more than i can chew entering this?or should i start running up and down hills 90% of my training time?
A Cunning run - Will be my first time too...and I`m rubbish at hill running - I`m adding hill work into my training runs.
To those who have run before - I`m thinking on having a `support crew` i.e. a few freinds there before & after the race. Is there space near the starting & finishing area for a pinic / bbq & a kick about before hand?
hi mr k,
glad you're on my wave length. i just saw this and want another challenge/new goal after my lydd half in march. otherwise i'll succumb to biscuits, tv and no running! this seems the left field answer to just doing more halfs/ 10ks.
i have a friend who's trying to pursuade me to do a marathon, but that's next year maybe, seems like a load of effort, especially if you want to get a good time in. which i would!
Just entered this (me and OH) - I too need to do something different after lots of halves and 10s, and one marathon and a few short fell races - realised I will never be fast so instead am going for longer/harder/madder races instead.
I have very rashly entered the Snowdon race in July - the fell race not the road marathon, so this is a) perfect timing and b) just about the same amount of ascent, though in bits not all at once (not sure which is worse tbh lol). Since I also come from not far from Epsom and used to work there, and miss the lovely Surrey hills, couldnt be better!
Looking forward to it, it sounds an amazing if ludicrously painful experience - I am also pretty rubbish at hills (up that is, always seem to make up places going down again!) so plenty of practice will be required - any excuse to pop over to the Ridgeway or up to the Peak District
Re shoes - as even a very very amateurish trail and fell runner I am accumulating a wide variety of shoes - do I gather from the website that road shoes are definitely the choice for this course? At a recent race in Epsom which was on footpaths but superbly muddy I was more than glad to be wearing Inov8s as I sploshed slightly smugly past lots of slithering runners! THey all overtook me again on the dry bits but it was fun while it lasted.
Oooh, I might come back to you on that one, Mr K. But I fear I might be a bit slower than you.
Quite happy to go by train if feasible, but if not this would be a good fallback option. Cheers mucho!
Muttley - no worries. You did alright at Frimley.
Muttley - go to Deepdene; the Munro start is a short(ish) walk from there.
DR. Rob: nice feature on the Skyline 10K in 'the other mag' today! Good one!
Hey, Muttley,
I've signed up for this event and if you want you can grab a lift with me? I'm from Bracknell so just down the road.. As long as you don't mind waiting around for me - I don't think I'll be very quick..
Anyone offer any advice on type/frequency of hill training I need to do for this run?
Scotty
