We just wanted to send you details of the race that Prestwich AC - (based in North Manchester have organised for May.
It's called the Prestwich Challenge, and it's a race with a difference. It's 8 miles, all off road, partly cross-country and with a variety of interesting obstacles. So if you or anyone at your club fancy a challenge and a race that's a bit different then this could for you! Full details are attached.
We look forward to hearing from you. If you have any questions please get in touch via the details on the form or e-mail us at: prestwich-ac@hotmail.co.uk
come on this is the best race of the year - we need to defend both titles, fasstest women team (official)
fastest 'pretend' pub team(not as official)
I'll be nice whoever is on my team , but take no prisoners, - but let us make an all female team and all male. There is myself and Carol so far - Les and Brian have muttered a few words of interest. Also Tom and David(from the gym)
But you have to not mind, mud, dirt, not be polite to other competitors, some heights, cheat, swear, prepare to fight and realise it is all about winning!!!
Is this the race thats end may bank hol?? I really want to do it but its Edinburgh marathon that weekend if it is. Good luck with your race at the weekend Rach , 20 miler is it?? Ive been in bed with the flu since Wednesday so havent been training, knew that would happen after Liv half!! hope to see you next week.
The prestwich is May 18/05 - week before the bank holiday. Jo - not sure if it the wisest event before a marathon as there is quite a good chance of injury. It is quite a demanding terrain. when it is described as off road it is an understatement - you cannot liken it to cross country.
Hi Dawn, thanks for that, I dont think I will be doing anything the week before the marathon! does sound a good buzz though, will hopefully do it next year, but I ve never even done any cross country running so there's another thing I need to do before even considering entering something like that. hope to see you soon if this flu ever leaves me, I fear its turned into 'manflu'!!!
