-
A stone cold classic.
-
The spectacular scenery, including the Ribblehead Viaduct. And the awesome support along the route. It felt a little like being in the Tour de France!
-
The brutally steep race route up Whernside (it’s different to the standard Three Peaks route). I was on all fours at the top and went from feeling great at the bottom, to smashed at the top.
-
People who are looking to run a classic British fell race.
-
The race has 3 major climbs but is actually relatively flat between them. It also has a bit of everything: road, trail and fell. Train accordingly.
-
You need to run two races to qualify (typically long fell races or mountain marathons). Their website has all the details.
