DD - its straight out and back....there is a little 300/400 metre incline about half a mile from the finish and a little, really steady climb on the way out....but nothing of any note really..
Stay on M62, then M621...get off Junction 3 (Leeds City Centre)...follow signs for Train Station for about half a mile and then you should see loads of signs for city centre car parks.
Hope that all helps.
Does anyone or know of anyone who has an entry they are not using due to whatever reason. Would really like to run but didn't managed to get entered in time.
Let me know if there is a possibility?
Cheers
Just looked on the met office....temps given are;

Cheers for that James, much appreciated. The weather forecast isnt
Doesnt matter once we set off running, its the waiting around...feet like ice
bbc weather
yep, this one says heavy snow for sunday, plus 12mph winds. will they allow it to go ahead in snow? can imagine that just getting there will be difficult if it does snow.
at least my little girl will be happy if it snows, especially as its her birthday!
just received an email from organisers wishing me luck, nice touch. well, they are reminding about sponsorship too
The forecast has changed to heavy rain
www.bbc.co.ukCold, wet, windy & miserable ... a normal day on the Kirkstall Rd then.
I had been quite excited about this race as training was going well ... but, since I hurt my knee, part of me is dreading it now. I've now learned that my knee problem is due to ITBS (caused by friction between my iliotibial band and the knobbly bit of my thigh bone at the knee) which explains why it seems to be okay in day-to-day life but flares up when I run any distance. Need to get it sorted out properly but really don't want to miss the Abbey Dash. Dilemma. So I think I'm just going to strap it up above the knee to try to disipate the tension at the friction point .... and hope for the best!

Dan, how long have you been like this? Im no expert but I think you really need to rest it a couple of weeks at least or you could be doing further damage.
Only you know the extent to the pain/injury though...just go easy.
