Just entered last minute. Looking forward to it!
I'll be there. It's my first half, quite excited. I have done most of my training runs in and around the course so feel ok about it. The weather this morning said bright and breezy which usually means strong winds in St Annes.
What's the score with parking? Can you park at the lake or on Clifton drive? Or is at all shut for the bloomin golf invaders?
thanks andrew i will be waring a red and white stripped dumfries harrier vest on sunday (wheres wally type) .had a quick look at course map how many laps is race is it 2 or more ? thanks william.
William - it's two x 6 mile laps with an extra bit to make up the distance.
I'll be in a red Lakeland Trails HM t-shirt if anyone wants to say hi.
ok thanks sd will look out for you cheers.

Parking at both ends of the Lake, Pay & Disply. Clifton Drive no parking, starts this Sunday for the Open, amazing, golf does not start until next Thursday, but never mind at least you can run the whole route not having to run outside parked cars anywere on the course.
GazOC was just in front of me then, I was in 1:39:20. Yeah, that back straight from 9 to 11 miles essentially killed a sprint finish, but it was a nice PB for me. Lovely to meet William too, fast stuff by him.
Cracking race, enjoyed it.
William, didn't get online after Friday so didn't see the messages but glad you enjoyed it. I'm very much a beginner so was well behind you guys, but was happy with my modest 2h27, especially with that pesky wind. Thought the organisation was very good though and everyone seemed to enjoy it. Need to work on shifting some more excess baggage now to speed up a bit!
Andrew, sorry I didn't get to see you, man. I daresay our HM paths will cross at some juncture! How did you feel about the course vs the Lakeland Trails one? You seem more enamoured with the trails, am I right?
Yes, Gaz, that was me. I remember spotting you a few times, notably right near the end as I was running out of steam and heading down to the lake you were still on the path next to the coastal wall - I could see you had your tail up - so I thought I'd try and hold you off. Good finish by you.
