You'll be fine Mike.
It;'s a tough course but if you run within yourself for the first half of the race which is hilly you'll get round and you will not disgrace yourself
don't worry mike, I've entered and I'm not a club runner, or very fast either! If you're looking at 2hrs 15 mins, then I'll be behind you.....
I did this and will be back next year. The scenery is outstanding; South Pennine lanes, moors, valleys, and villages. I prefer these hilly road races; alternating muscle groups on the climbs and descents must help recovery . Mill Town to Moors has plenty of both; with 1300 feet of ascent you can feel some additional satisfaction for your effort. This is no ordinary half marathon. Hats off to Oldham!!!
