This is a “challenging route” and is a handicap event.

 

Only attempt this race if you  can live up to its tradition.

 

A crowd will be eager to offer you advice on how to run up Den Bank.

Those quaffing beer at the Rivelin Hotel will also encourage you as you pass by!

You will be marked at Stannington Church

It is open to male and female runners who are members of one of the clubs affiliated to

South Yorkshire County District Athletic Association.

 

 John Spencer will handicap the event.  He will seek the guidance of wise people from the other South Yorkshire clubs. To get a fair handicap is to submit some details of your race times this year - Trunce, South Yorkshire Road league, 5K and 10K times, previous Hallam Chase times etc. In the absence of any information your handicap may not be generous-
