Tockholes 4 mile trail race report
This was a not very well publicised and consequently low key affair with only 65 finishers, starting over the road from the Ramblers Cafe in Tockholes. The route followed reasonably well marked and marshalled trails through woodland with all the stuff we like – mud, rocks, streams, roots, loose dogs etc. A fast(ish) downhill start was followed by an uphill section, a short loop and back down again for another loop, this time clockwise around the Roddlesworth reservoir. A steeper uphill section brought us back to the start, with the finish line a little further on.
Mary came in first of the three Lostockers, winning her age category with a time of 42:00, followed shortly by me (42:10) and Sheila (50:19). All in all a fun little race that deserves to be better known.
