The concept: A down-and-up relay where the first leg is almost entirely downhill. The second leg is almost entirely uphill. The event is designed to bring together those runners who are great at descending, with those who are strong uphill runners.
The venue: The Cat and Fiddle pub on the Macclesfield-Buxton Road GR: SK 001 719
The date: Wednesday 3rd July 2013 7:30. Last registration 7:10 to allow uphill runners chance to get to the handover in time.
Cost: £5 per team. All profits go to Wincle school and pre-school
Prizes: Numerous - all conserves and cakes
Logistics: Quite simple - uphill runners register then jog to the handover place. Downhill runners jog back from the handover. There's no need for pairs to have two cars.
Official details: on the FRA site. Note age requirement: all runners must be 16 or over.
