Back for its 45th year the ever popular Parbold Hill Race is now available to enter.

Although it is just over 4 months away, with only 500 places available, it is wise to enter early to avoid immense disappointment on the grandest of scales. There was a great turnout from the striders last year which resulted in the mens team winning, and it would be good to pick up a few more prizes for the club this time around.
This race is the 14th race in our clubs MTCT season, taking place sat 14/02/15.
If you need refreshing on the race take a look at Eunice's article in the Striding Report (March or May). Mud, hills, streams, old windmills, hay bail obstacles, stag-do's in mankini's, and suspicious looking cows, what's not to like!
Totally agree with all being said above, although I have one piece of advice from past experience...
I would wait to enter until they release the pdf entry form, I found that getting your bib posted at home is much better than online entry, meaning no queues whatsoever on the day!
If Carlsberg did races, Parbold would still be better....
Saturday 14th February 2pm, put it in the diary and make sure you're there for all the thrills and spills. I know it's Valentines day, but come this is Parbold!

Online entry as above original post.
Last year our men got 1st A team and the 1st B team (5th overall), and our women got 5th. Let's get a good turnout and clean sweep the prizes!
If anyone was looking at getting a pair of off road shoes, Pete Bland Sports are having reductions on their autumn / winter stock, i.e. trail / fell shoes etc upto 50% off.
So if you were intrigued with off-road running but didn't want to fork out huge amounts in case you won't enjoy it (I seriously doubt it though!), this might be the sale for you!
just to give you a flavour of what you'r missing here folks
come on, I know you're jealous now...
don't worry, there's always next year!
if you can wait 12 long months
Good luck everyone and enjoy it!
I'll be queuing up in The Farmers Arms with fingers crossed that someone drops out...otherwise I'll be chasing you around the course, shouting words of encouragement in the form of Lawrence Eccles put downs!
