1st run & also race of the year in the 3 mile 800 FOA Calendar Crags, a low key hill race run for the best part on good forest tracks & road. Weather good, no wind, clear & with a bit of heat in the sun.
The race starts from a road behind Calendar Main Street accessing the steep trail up the Crags, reached the top gasping in 16 mins. The descent starts gently on a good path then drops down through woods to pick up a single track road. First couple of hundred yards on the road are flat/slightly uphill before dropping down quite steeply. As you pass a forest access car park cut back onto the forest track, slight uphill before a last mostly downhill push to finish in 31:35.
An excellent Hill race to get you some experience of the sport without any worries, well marshalled, no navigational issues, short, no difficult climbs or terrain, plenty of runners of all standards from Scottish Internationalists to fun runners. Race is run twice a year, 1st Sat in Jan & June.
