Back for the race this week on a hot sunny June afternoon. Small field for this friendly race which has been run since 1986. All sorts run the race, with their recyclable numbers printed on material.
Short enough at 3.5 miles too push all the way, probably about a 1.5 mile climb up through the forrest to the top of the Crags and past the cairn commemorating Queen Victorias Jubilee. After the cairn the track undulates along for a hundred or so yards then drops steeply and turns back through some woods, a short 1/2 mile or so on the road then back onto the forrest tracks to the finish.
About 2 1/2 minutes quicker than in the January version. A fun informal race and with the start and finish in Calendar plenty to see and do as well.
