If any forumites want to see a real spectacle in the beautiful surroundings of the Yorkshire Dales, get yourselves up to Horton in Ribblesdale on Saturday, 26th April for the 54th running of the Three Peaks race. This year it incorporates the World Hill Running Championship and has attracted 902 entries from 21 countries. The race starts at 10am.
It's too far for me to run nowadays but in my prime it was my favourite race, a real test of speed, stamina and skill in coping with the ups and downs of rough country. Such is the aura and prestige of this race, from the very start it became my number one objective. It's one of the oldest classic fell races covering 24 miles with 4,500ft of ascent.
Cheers!
PS. I don't suppose any forumites are running it this year, are they? Just curious!
