We turned up to a tent full a cakes, a load of smiles from the organisers and glorious sunshine. Registration was quick and simple. The race brief was clear and concise. the course was very simple out and back on the trains pennine trail. The marshals are always great and the feed stations have snacks and a variety of drinks.
