Hades Hill Race

Whitworth, near Rochdale

Simple out and back course with no technical difficulty, just lots of hard ascents over a short distance. The 2006 event was blessed with blue skys and perfect weather conditions. Being the last evening fell race of the season and a local clubs fell league fixture there was a large turn out and high quality field. Derek Clutterbuck arranged lots of prizes (how does he manage this with an entry fee of only £2?) and the presentation was very well attended (over 100). The 2006 route was probably a couple of hundred yards shorter than usual due to a new path in the field at the end.

Tip: don't fall over.

2007 update - the course was altered slightly due to fencing erected by United Utilities. Even so the distance was unchanged and we had perfect weather once again. 2006 results, 2007 results and pictures.
