Buxton Half-Marathon

Has anyone done this? Just how hilly is it (hilliest things I've done were Burnham Beeches half and Stockport 10; I wouldn't like to try hillier!)

If you want hills you've picked the right race it is HILLY!!!! I did for the first time last year I really enjoyed it. The scenery is fantastic. It is hard work but there's a really great atmosphere. I'm not able to do it this year but I will definitely do it again. Good luck

Last time I did it when we got to the top of the first hill we disappeared in the clouds. It is very hilly with about three significant climbs, just don't look up.

Enjoy it

Sent my registration off today. It's a 17.30 start on Saturday 5th June and it's supposed to be hilly but then Buxton is in hilly country !

Tough, scenic and a great sense of achievement when you finish. Oh and lots of free mineral water

Haile,

It takes me 50 mins from junc 29 on M1 at chesterfield so what 1/2 hour for you to nip down to there - not to bad.

I think I will give it a go

John, This is the 3rd year in a row that I've done this race and each time the organization has been excellent - well done !

[Deleted User] · June 2004

Hi John

Can you ask your results guy to let me have the results asap so that I can add it to my previous years?

Thanks!

I did this on Saturday and thoroughly enjoyed myself. I thought it was a well organised event. I particularly liked the rubber mats over the cattle grids. Thanks must go to Buxton Mountain Rescue for monitoring over the route.
Thanks

On a personal level I was well pleased to come in at 2:00:01 on such a course as this. With a second or two to get over start line I reckon i can call it 2hrs !

Oh so slow · June 2004

First time I have done this one. Agree with earlier comments, great organisation and a nice but very tough course - now I know what 'hilly' means.

Thanks to UKRESULTSMAN - I had been looking for these since Monday - I had never run the race before and although I had trained I was not prepared for the hills - my calf muscles have been tight since after the race!

[Deleted User] · June 2004

Thanks UKRESULTSMAN much appreciated. Great website.
