Tissington Trail Half Marathon 2013

Hi All,

Ran this last year. Best race of the year for me by far.  Great route, and lovely countryside blessed by even better weather on the day. A fixture in my race calender for years to come.

Off to enter again right now!

hi

I am really considering it...be nice to do a half after 6 weeks with the kids !!..clear the head and all that.

i would prob come last tho..as only 350 places, and not done any trail races, just road nor am i the fastest of runners

Doing the Warwick half this Sunday.

Vic

Just signed up for this, not done it before but heard good things!

Entered this a couple of days ago having trained for marathons on the trail for the past two years. 

No need to worry about trail experience Victoria, the surface is as good as road for most parts.  Only issue is if it's wet...I ran a 20mile out and back between Parsley Hey & Tissington and parts of the trail that were fine on the way out had flooded on the way back.  I'm sure the organisers will have booked perfect conditions for the day though!

Think i'll try this for my first half, victoria i'm not the quickest of runners either

It never said anything about being quick on the entry form I filled in (thank goodness)....No matter where we finish, we all get the same medal....so it's good to have another runner on board!

Just entered this race, will be my first half marathon sounds like a nice one to do, better start training.

Was ready and raring to do my first half in Sheffield next week but due to an injury think I'm going to have to pull out  perhaps the Tissington Train would be a good one to work towards! Sounds like a good course for beginners.

right i've entered, am excited now!
