Les Croupiers Running Club Forum

Great race and unique in the world of fell running by offering hot showers, unlike the usual cold river. Good for spectators as the views from the top are outstanding. Good for newbie fell runners as it's well marshalled and safe. Fell shoes probably a good bet.

I think it's more of a up, down, up, down Don't get too comfortable after the first climb

I intend to be there Saturday so lets see you all ready to go in the red and green.

Karen (and anyone else who is interested)

Points are allocated based on the number of runners between the competing teams. The last runner score 1 point and so on upwards. Team scores are totaled and the highest wins.

For 2016 I hear that Forest of Dean will by turning out in large numbers with a view to making it a 3-way mob match for 2017.

So you see we do need everyone who can to run for us.

Hope this helps and we look forward to a closer match this time - maybe we can win!

Glad to hear that you're going to be there, Sarah.

Good point about the gates ....there are some subtle strategies that can be applied at such points..... so I'm told.

However, following the correct route is, I suppose, the most fundamental ... Stu C, Julie S..?

one of those courses where you don't know if your'e kymin or going..

Thoroughly enjoyed the race and congratulations to all the LC runners who took part.

Hope that you enjoyed your run Sarah and yes, we were all winners - will discuss the scoring with you on Thursday.

There was a ladies prize - it was simply overlooked during the presentation.
John Griffin will pass on the award to Clare's mother Caroline on Thursday.
