Tissington Trail Half Marathon

Hi All,

 I ran much of the trail last year and thought then it would be ideal for a longer dustance race.

Thinking of entering - anyone else?

Hi Ian,

I'm running it with my partner and both of my parents. First half marathon for my partner and I so we are a little nervous but apparently it's downhill all the way! (the reason why we chose this one)

Does anyone know whether this route is downhill all of the way? I am slightly confused by the description.  Would this by a potential PB course?

Thanks Steve

I want to do this! Is there a time limit for completion?

email the organiser and ask.

I wouldn't think there are time limits but you never know.

Nobody wants to be stood around waiting for 4 hours because the last person is walking (Mansfield Half 2002 I think)

Is this the old White Peak Half Marathon?

Signed up to do this now. No time limit - I'm not walking, so hope I won't take 4 hrs plus!!! Especially downhill.

No, that one's in May 

It is a great running surface and definitly a PB chance

Hi, I was supposed to be running this event but I have broken my ankle this week can I offer anyone my place or get any sort of refund? Absolutely gutted.

Gemma, I had hoped to enter this one but see that it is full.  If you cannot get a refund let me know and I could take your place (paid of course).  Sorry to hear about your ankle.  Hope you will be mended soon. 

Hi Kate,

I have sent you a message if you are still interested.

Thanks

Trail shoes for this one?

Has anyone had any info about it?  Like a start location and time? 

It's my first half so I'm not too sure what to expect but I'm looking forward to it. 

I spent a couple of days pootling up and down the track as a ranger during the foot and mouth outbreak when it was one of the only bits of the national park open!

I'd rather wear my old faithfuls! The course is just grass I think, so if it's wet, trails, if not usuals.

Erzulie, I imagine gravel trails most of the way if memory serves.....

Thanks Ian. Getting scared now - feel like I haven't done enough! Oh well - it's too late now, just have to get stuck in.
