Once again with only 6 days rest the Spen/ mountain marathon runners engaged in the mickleden straddle race, with an early start to sunday morning (with the threat of heavy snow on them there hills) we set off to face the challange.
The course is long outward run over mickleden edge to the res/ and along Cold side then looping back to check point 5 then a long run back to the finish at langsett barn. The tracks were like frozen waste land with ruts made by passing mountain bikes and very tuff on the ankels with some runners returning with blooded legs and sore feet. But with true feelings most runners finished with smiles and enjoyed the fresh winter air.
