Kwaka Nov 2010 6:09pm, 22 Nov 2010 1,318 posts	0 Kwaka There hasnt been for the past two years, but this year we we're late getting things up & running & have increased the race limit by 100, so you might be lucky. Alan told me that we we're on the way to 700 entries over the w/e.
Kwaka Dec 2010 10:51pm, 1 Dec 2010 1,325 posts	0 Kwaka Just a quick update on this. We are now past 820 entrants for the race and it's looking like being another sell out. The entries will be kept open until the end of the week and then its very likely the Race Full signs will go up. So if you've not already done so get your entry in now. All details of how to enter can be found on the website: stockportharriers.com Also if you cant run this we are short of marshals so if you can help please fmail me & I'll pass on your details. And dont forget to look at the Video Teasers to give you some clues as to whats going to be in the Goody Bag.

pato1967 Dec 2010 9:12am, 2 Dec 2010 1,015 posts	0 pato1967 Plenty of time for the snow to disappear (famous last words ) there was still a couple of inches of ice/snow up to a couple of days before the 4 villages half at the start of the year, but on the day of the race it was perfect running conditions
Kwaka Dec 2010 6:18pm, 3 Dec 2010 1,329 posts	0 Kwaka The guys are doing a reccy of the course on Sunday. Usually the bad bits are around the short hill just as you get onto the estate at the top of Torkington Road. Its quite steep and can get very slippy. We have salt and there is also a grit bin at the bottom. I would say that unless its sheet ice the race will be run, although we will have warnings out about the conditions and telling people to watch their footing.

Kwaka Dec 2010 5:46pm, 5 Dec 2010 1,331 posts	0 Kwaka Apparently the course was reccyed today and although Bongs Ln was quite slippy (not surprising) the rest was fine.
Nexus Icon Dec 2010 9:15pm, 5 Dec 2010 43 posts	0 Nexus Icon I was in the group that reccied the route today. The only bits with major ice were Woodbank Park and Bongs Lane. All the rest of the route was OK though and will probably be completely clear as long as it doesn't snow again by the end of the week.
