Trail League 2025

AuthorDateMessage
John BellFeb 16 2025, 9:46amThis year's new and improved Trail League starts at Annacurra on 1st March.The trail league is an ideal way to try out hill running with a nice mix of forest and hill trails and not too much climb or rough ground. It's also good for those who have good speed from cross country or park runs.
The league this year has been expanded to 5 races with your best 3 races to score in the final league table. Last year we had 28 people finish the league of only 3 races, with Daniel O'Brien and Joan Ryan finishing top of the pile. We should more than double that this year. Will Daniel and Joan be out to defend their titles?
Mick HanneyFeb 16 2025, 1:59pmDepends on your definition of "not too much" John, its all very subjective. There might be some in race 1, with some lovely single tracks that might tempt Alan Ayling to use his mountain bike.
Alan AylingFeb 17 2025, 10:52amGiven the climbs you made us go up last time Mick, the bike will be staying at home. An e-bike might be an option, but someone would probably decide that's against the spirit of the event...
