Been trying for a couple of days to enter but can't get past personal info section. E-mailed the organisers but nothing back yet. Have done this race twice before and really enjoyed it. Missed one year when it was cancelled and re-scheduled because of flooding in Watery Lane and new date I was running elsewhere. Still waiting for a reply on that one so not holding breath on current problem

Online - didn't have any problems as far as I can remember.
Not entered YET, but will do so next month probably. Was a scorcher last year so am glad it's been changed to the Saturday evening, should be a bit cooler.
Richard > It's all undulating but none of the climbs are particularly long/steep. They just gradually take their toll.
Pussycat > Depends how well prepared he is. As I said above, the course is all undulating. You can check the cousr profile using the link below.
Last year alot of people on here were touting it as hilly. Personally, I wouldn't say it was hilly, but the undulations take their toll. For runners that don't like any type of incline, this could be hard going. However, if you train appropriately, there's no reason this can't be a nice run. It's all on quiet country lanes and the scenary is nice. The local support, whilst sparce, is very nice and last year some kind resident took to getting the garden hose out to help cool runners.

Thanks for that - we live in an area which is pretty hilly wherever you head so no surprises. Don't know about the hosepipe tho!

Hi mick,
All is fine here - finally seem to be getting over 6 months of almost continuous injury/illness and starting to run well again.
Hope all is going well for you lads.
