23rd Calderdale Way Relay Race, Leg 5 

19th December 2006

100 teams run this race each year, with 2 runners on each of 6 legs.  That makes 1200 loonies in total.  

The start in 2006 on Wainstalls road was blisteringly cold, but after only a bout a mile the hat, gloves and caggy came off.  The start has narrow, wet and muddy paths.  At parts it feels like you are going through someone's garden (they have put a gate across a public right of way).  Shorts sections are on road and cobbles.  The stone steps down to Shibden Brook are lethal - very slippery - beware.  All in all a tiring 7.5 miles but damn good fun.   Very well run and a credit tp Halifax Harriers.

p.s. Be nice to the marshals because they do this for our fun.
