Parbold Hill Race 2015

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

https://bookitzone.com/jane_woodburn/rt2FFX

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!

Re: Parbold Hill Race 2015

I've entered it! Hopefully I won't do a Rachel Rick and enter it again later. Maybe I can come back to this post to remind myself.

Re: Parbold Hill Race 2015

I'm in. Definitely the best race in the world, can't wait

Doing Born Survior this week end in preparation - Parbold Hill 2015 Bring It On ....

Re: Parbold Hill Race 2015

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!

Just a thought...

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!

Entry form available to download from http://www.northernathletics.org.uk/download/parbold-hill-entry-form/

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!

Re: Parbold Hill Race 2015

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!
