This race is short, sharp, fast, and rough in parts visiting the prominent Blackstone Edge Trig point, Pennine Way and a Roman Old Road. Kev inaugurated this cracking race back in 1983, unlike many races it has not suffered with access restrictions thanks to the local farmers / landowner’s receptiveness and has remained the same route (including the infamous bog) throughout. It’s a class of a race, this is reflected in it being included as a counter in the British / English Fell Championships on two occasions.
