Sheldon on Thu 24th Jul 1997

109 startersAn enjoyable race which starts in the centre of Sheldon. This was the third time the race had been run and on previous occasions had attracted about 20 runners. The organisers must have been, well they were, overwhelmed when more than 100 turned up!

The route is pleasant enough. Starting with half a mile down and up the road out of Sheldon then down fields to the Wye. There is a gradual climb through Great Shacklow Wood followed by a steep ascent into fields below Sheldon and a downhill finish into the centre of the village.

Getting served in the pub was the low point. My advice is to get your order in before you start the race or, better still, make friends with the race winner before the start!
