At 10 miles and 2300 feet climb this is a testing route, especially with the very muddy conditions underfoot this year. The cloud was low so visibility was poor for much of the race. As it’s an out and back you are rarely running on your own and its nice to be able to cheer the faster runners on as they pass you on their return. All runners were handed a beer at the finish and some of the ladies won more booze. Andrea scooped third lady, while Julie and I got the category prizes.

Good to see such a large turnout of Harriers at Manor Water, especially those new to hill racing, Stuart, Robin and Romana. Well done to our regulars on the hills and especially our ladies who picked up prizes, Andrea 3rd lady, and Sadie and Julie.
