Julian’s Post-Christmas Trail Run from Ring O’Bells, Frodsham, Wed 28-Dec

Meet point:  Ring O'Bells pub, 2 Bellemonte Road, Overton, Frodsham, Cheshire, WA6 6BS.

Striders are doing the Frodsham/Helsby trail run for a second time this year.  Details are broadly the same as for the 17-Dec run but this time there will be no food organised, although you are welcome to order your own from the bar.

Be aware that the terrain on 17-Dec was very muddy!

There will be a second 7 mile (one lap) or 14 mile (two lap) run this year from Frodsham to Helsby Hill and back on Wed 28-Dec.  We all meet at the Ring O’Bells pub in Frodsham at either 8:45am or 10:15am. The route is 80% off road and best run in fell shoes or trail shoes as it is usually muddy.  It is not a race so we will muster back or wait if we spread out.  I expect some of our running friends from Helsby Running Club will join us too.  A few of them just turn up for the beer and food!

The first lap will start at 9am prompt so please arrive before, to be ready to start at 9am.  It is about 7miles per lap.  There is a wonderful descent on the path running off Helsby Hill, my personal “rave run” as they used to say in Runner’s World.

If you come to join us for the 2nd lap then arrive at 10:15am to set off at 10:30am.  The earlier group will come back stop for a few minutes for a drink or ditch some clothing, pick up any late arrivals or slightly faster runners from the pub car park and then set off to catch the others.

Please email me back if you are intending to run so we will know who is turning up.

Regards, Julian
