Loved the run and will definitely do it again next year. Only problem is that i'm not included in the results. I'm Penny Kelly and i was race number 81. Could you have a look for me? Cheers!

Hi Penny

Thanks for your comment, you are listed on the results as overall position number 83. Your race time was 63.22. Thanks for your support

Hi

Thanks very much for the event yesterday - I enjoyed it and hope it was successful in raising funds.

There does seem to be a minor discrepancy in the results in that you have race number 80 against my name rather than my correct number which was 79. I wonder if myself and the actual number 80 times have been transposed? I'm not bothered too much about times - both are similar times and about 54 minutes is sufficiently precise for me but thought I would mention it.

Best wises

Thanks for continuing to put on the race. Just seems to a shame to have it on the same weekend as another local race, the Blackshaw Head Fete, which incorporates it own fell race. I chose to do your race this year, but will probably opt for the other one next year. I'm sure if you chose a different weekend for your race both races would benefit from a higher turnout of local runners. Thanks, Matt

Thanks for your comment. Unfortunately when we set the date for 2011 we were unaware that it clashed with the Blackshaw Head Fete. Although the date is provisionally set for 2012 we do plan to talk with local clubs and other event organisers to ensure a date for all, where no events clash.

Thanks for your support
