Just 3 Keswick runners turned out to do this classic lakeland race in Langdale. Hardly surprising really with it being on the same evening as the Newlands Valley race, the 3rd club counter in the 2010 road championship.
65 runners in total made the journey straight up and down Pike O'Blisco from the Old Dungeon Ghyll Hotel via Red Acre Gill. With a sneaky tarmac section to start and finish - hardly noticed at the start, feels like a half marathon at the end. The weather was superb even if conditions underfoot were a little wet after the recent downpours! Lots of ground to make up on fellow competitors if you know where you're going off the top too (I didn't but didn't end up as far wrong as some....!)
Cracking race with a unique prize giving at the end by Selwyn. Basically the further down the field you are the more beer you win! And a complete bargain at £1.00 to enter!
