Wednesday 5th April 2006

This popular race, last ran in 2000, will return unchanged this coming April. It follows an out and back course from Ambleside to the summit of Loughrigg, a total distance of 4 miles with 1000 feet of climbing.

The race will start in Millans Park (behind the church) in Ambleside at 7pm on Wednesday April 5th - GR 374044. Please park on the main car park in the village and walk to the start which is 5 minutes away. Entry on the night only.

The course will follow the large track up to the final fell gate. It will then be flagged to the summit where it returns by the same route. The records are 27.19 by John Hooson in 1995 and 33.47 by Lynn Thompson in 1997. The cost will be £3 and the minimum age is 15, not the 16 it says in the calendar. Prize giving will hopefully be as near to 8pm as possible.

If anyone is unable to run at Loughrigg but can give up an hour or so to help out, I would really appreciate it. I’m particularly needing someone with first hand experience of the sticky labels system! Contact me by phone or email to offer services.
