The first race of the Keswick AC Winter Series will take place on the 19th of December. Registration will be at the Youth Hostel from 10:00am.Juniors 10:15 warm up jog through the village with the race to start at 10:30 opposite Crag House Farm. The route will be an out and back up Rannerdale Knotts with different turning points for each age group.
Seniors will start 11:00 from Buttermere Youth Hostel. The route will be an out and back up Rannerdale Knotts. Keswick AC's Matt Fraser and Chris Edis have been training on this route for the past three years. Early attempts at running the roughly 3.5mile route took the Buttermere Hostel staff close to 40 minutes. Three years of fierce competition have seen PB's plummet down to sub 25 minutes. Matt currently boasts the fastest time at 24:45.
The ideal training race for anyone planning on running at Wansfell on the 27th.
We are toying with the idea of starting juniors and seniors together. It could be fun to have everyone from U8's to Vets running side by side. If lots of people like the idea then maybe we should give it a go. If you have any thoughts on this please post a comment. If its a strong YES then we can start everyone at 11:00.
See you there.
In the event of bad conditions we may change to a low level trail route.
