Haweswater Half Marathon
Anyone else doing this? I did it last year and it's a little gem. Has any one had their number yet? I haven't heard anything and i'm getting a bit concerned. Ahhh

I was getting concerned about numbers and so forth and went to the event website to find some contact details. There's a note saying they don't intend to send information out until the end of the month - looks like they'll be cutting things a bit fine but thats their problem rather than ours.
"The race is limited to 500 runners.Closing date for postal entries is 18th feb 2006.Race numbers and details will be posted out after 26th February.If the limit of 500 is not reached by the closing date, entries will be available on the day between 09:30 and 10:30."
Hope to do better this time.
See you there.
I did this last year - I'm not sure how I finished because the scenery was so spectacular that I could have stopped and stared at it for hours.
This is one of the best.
Be interested to get the views of those who're ran this to know what parking is like on the day. I know the area a little and Bampton is only tiny - is there field parking somewhere?
Last year there was parking right in the village. It was all off road on various fields and verges.
No! still waiting for number.
Thanks for the parking advice bill, think i'll get there early.
I got my number - 299.
Looking forward to this.
Is there likely to be snow? Don't fancy that, but I'm looking forward to the scenery.
With that in mind, does anybody want to park up in Shap and share a lift in? I'd be more than happy either to offer a lift or to contribute to somebody else's costs. I'm hoping to finish somewhere in the 1:45-1:50 region if that makes a difference.
If anybody is interested, I can dive up to Shap one lunchtime and identify a suitable meeting point. Feel free to post on here or email me direct.
Pulled my Achilles at Lossiemouth last week, and then aggravated the injury this weekend (no, not running).
As I have a marathon coming up I can't afford to do any more damage, and it is a hilly course.
Good luck to you all, enjoy it.
Get well soon.
Race starts at 11:00am and I normally like to turn up about an hour before, hows that suit. Meet in shap 9:45?
First race this year for me and I'm taking it as a bit of a tester. Aiming for anything under 1hr40.
You'll be looking for a tall bloke with greying red hair. I assume I'm looking for a small dog?!
Anybody else want to hitch a ride?
There's a good covering of snow on the fells though so if it stays cold we should be in for a treat.
