Hope you heal soon
Hamertime gave me a nice dose of reality, which i needed
The last thing I would ever want to do is put anybody off from running, or doing a run.
What I was trying to get across is that specifically, the Three peaks race is just that, a race, and a championship race at that. To enter the event Mercs will have to run it as a race or be DNF'd, not too nice an experience.
What YRM seems to be talking about is doing it as a run which is just as fulfilling, and probably gives people more opportunity to enjoy the scenery and the whole experience. Did the Rombalds myself this year as a very steady run and really enjoyed it. 3:41 but the cut off was 10 hours because its a LDWA event. If I had chosen to race it I might have been pleased with the quicker time, but wouldn't have enjoyed the run nearly as much.
Anyway, I didn't think you bothered with anything under 35 miles these days. :-)
Hoping to recce it this weekend though with a group from the club, some of whom will be racing it.
So, nice steady run, beautiful scenery, great company, few drinks after, and a run!
Isn't life great.
There is an on line map, I will try and find the link and post it here.

Finally found a route map. Not in hugh detail but probably good enough to plot it on a larger map.

it may surprise you to know that i have a 5 mile race in a week, followe by a half marathon!
dont be sad I needed tobe reminded how hard all this stuff is
but one day Im back for that Lyke Wake bastard
I have to point out I was not asking about the official fell race , we are doing it as a "fun" run ( ha bleeding ha ) and it would seem someone ( cheers boss ) has not doen his home work. Some guys will walk it , some will be on support in a pub , erm I mean minibus , and now some may not run it . I may talk boss into maybe a relay run after all its for charidee mate
I never did the race, but best time was a tad over 6 hours.
Used to do the Lyke Wake as well, fond memories.....
