Ive only ever ran there mate, but the mrs reckons its free, which makes sense as you could just park on one of the roads next to it and wal...... Run through the car park

Thanks mate yeah the last time I went it was free.

Have a good one today, everyone taking part. Just remember that the #1 mistake that distance runners make is going off too fast from the start!

Good luck to everyone running HM today, just completed City blue run 10k knocked 58 secs of my Bluemoon 10k. Felt comfortable and first run in over 2 months with no niggles or tightness in calf (rested for 2 weeks as knew had this today)

Good luck to everyone else!

Done in 1:51:14. Never realised running up Oldham rd from Manchester to Failsworth was so steep!!

Thats me done folks, big kudos to all of you that get out and get it done today, my first go at the longdendale trail, its a cracker, had to keep stopping on the way out, far to many great views not to take pictures of,definitely recommend.

As suggested, took it easy and was aiming for sub 2 hr. cracking morning for it but a bit chilly. Pretty pleased with 1:56:18 with little bit added just in case.

Great running, everyone. I had a 10-mile race but had a bit left in the tank so I carried on to make it a half - I'm glad I did as I got a big PB!

That was tough but delighted I managed to break 2 hours.

That's incredible. We'll done. I was a good 25 minutes slower than my PB for HM !

Haha. I’m finding a more downhill route mate.

I completed the HM this morning in 1.51.48 which is a fair reflection of my current fitness. I wasn't going to do this race as not really trained up for it. But over Easter i did a 2 hour fell run with 1,500 feet of climbing in relative comfort so knew I had the legs. Then I was pissed off by Leeds winner so thought fuck it, I will have no beer and will use the anger as an energy for this race.

I enjoyed it apart from last mile or so when I was hanging on a bit. But ran it quite evenly paced.

Thanks blue hammer. I look forward to final results table.
