The first mile and a half is a steady climb with a quite steep bit followed by a flattish mile. Then a steep downhill and a short steep climb to around mile 3. Then a downhill section to around 4. And to finish there are 2 short climbs in the last mile. But the best bit is that the start and finish runs through the streets of Buxton where there will be loads of spectators. If you decicde to run be careful not to go off too fast and I hope you have a great race. Good Luck
I think 40 minutes is a very good time for the race. I wish I could do it in that right now. People of all abilities will be there. Give it a try i'm sure you will enjoy.
I am a member a Buxton AC. And a helper with the race. To all those who run we wish good luck and hope you enjoy the day. Any feedback would be welcome. You can post here or E-Mail me.
Pete Lambert-My best 5mile time is 41 mins in a very flat race so I'll be behind you. Thanks for the info on the race John. Does anyone know if there are still places left if I want to enter on the day?
I hope there will be lots of other people running MUCH slower than 40, like 60 plus.....otherwise I'll have no-one to chat to at the back!! And that's one of the best bits for me - the socialising
