Report
Well done to everyone who joined us today for the latest Cumbrian Gallopen event at Tarn Hows, luckily the weather held and we hope you all enjoyed running in such a lovely area and your courses.
Thanks as always to the small army of volunteers from LOC, especially James the Planner, Zara the Organiser and Nick the Controller.
One note from the Organisers - a farmer did find a few people crossing walls and fences where they shouldn't have been. Where crossing points are identified on the map, please ensure you do use them, it could have implications for future use of the area.
Overview
A classic distance race over one of the Lake Districts most iconic areas.
