In short: Still a tough run!!
In full: It's a fair old effort to get around when you have a dead leg! Have to agree with yorkshire scamp- Stainland and Guy Fawkes are harder but this is still a good blow out to get this year's participation in organised run's off to a good start. Thank you Meltham.

In full: Great conditions for the race today - the absence of wind was a treat!
Challenging course but I have done worse (Stainland 7 & Guy Fawkes 10 to name a couple!)
Make sure you bring a pound for a cup of tea & one of the lovely homemade cakes!

In short: Tough run, but one you must do again.
In full: Wow I like hilly runs but this was a tough nut. It felt like 5 miles non-stop uphill and a 1 mile charge downhill to the finish. Friendly and well organised it is a race I will definitely do again. Thank you Meltham AC.

In short: very hilly but the scenery makes it worth the sore legs
In full: thought the end was in sight at the bottom of the last hill sprinted down then realised there was another killer hill enjoyed it and happy with my time

In full: Big thanks to the friendly marshalls who did a great job especially with some impatient locals whom I felt thought we should be running through "their" village.

In short: Lucky to have this on my doorstep.
In full: As races go this was very pleasant indeed, A great turnout for a rural event (record numbers) and good marshalling organisation all the way round. Also gained a Carlos Tevez style illuminous snood, which shows thought considering standard fare is usually a fruit of the loom t-shirt. Genuinely made up with my time for a hills event those who moan about hills should stay in the cities and have enjoy crap scenery instead.So greatful the start line was 400 yrds from home and will be making this an annual event. Well done Meltham AC.
