This year's Marple 10k 'Trail' Run organised by Marple's Firefighters and sponsored by the Ring o' Bells will be held on 13th September 2008. To download a poster or an entry form follow this link to the main site: www.marple-uk.com/10k

interested in this . Do you know the route ?
Thanks
-
Same as last year but without the diversions!!! (someone moved the direction signs around!!!)
Start at Middlewood Way, Rose Hill and follow it to the A6 at High Lane. Left up the A6 to the canal at the Bulls Head then left and back along the towpath finishing outside the Ring o' Bells for your free butty & pint.
Hope to see you then.
-
Me and the Mrs will be there . Cheers
Can i bring the dog ?
-
Most certainly!!!!

The organisers have asked me to add that entries on the Day will be accepted and will qualify for a free drink but free sandwiches will not be available as these need to be ordered in advance of the event, so it's best to enter early. The entry form has been amended to include a note about this plus details of the starting point at the entrance to the Middlewood Way, near to Rose Hill Tip.
see: www.marple-uk.com/10k

Well, I bit the bullet and have entered and I got my information pack back today.
Pete, you have the route wrong. You don't turn left up the A6 and left again at the Bull's Head. You continue under the A6 to the Middlewood railway station and then turn left, up to the canal and then back to the Ringers. I ran "your" route the other day just to check what I should put down for my estimated time in and I've ended up in group A! I reckon it'll take me an extra 5-8 mins
-
Oooops!!! Well what do you know? I've always believed it to be the 'up the A6 route' even last year! Makes much more sense going up to Midllewood station. Sorry to have misled you with my ignorance!

Sounds great - any chance of a childrens <16 entry price or a family price.

I understand that the 10k event is now completely full and cannot accept any more entries, so it should be a great turnout!
-
Hi All,
The 10k race is now full. I'd like to thank all who have entered especially the people of Marple who it was intentionally aimed at.We've had a great response I hope the weather is the same as last year.
thanks

Our thanks to all who competed/supported the Marple 10k this year. It was a great event and superceded the problems of last year(more marshalls). Our apologies to the 'day entries' this year with the hiccup. PLEASE don't let this deter you from racing next year and hopefully we'll resolve this.. This is an event which is getting bigger and better every year and it's only the 2nd year of running. We are learning all the time (every day's a school day!) and listen to your feedback. Any problems/suggestions please contact us on rossac@manchesterfire.gov.uk This is an event for local people that we hope will grow year on year with YOUR support. Our thanks to the Fire Station personnel at Marple and their friends and families, the scouts and to Pete and Sue from the 'ringers'. A great event. Please support/run in the 'firkin challenge' next spring. (it's tough) otherwise good running see you next year

We have been sent several photos taken during the Marple 10k and will be adding them to the Virtual Tour in the near future. If anyone else has photos they'd like to share of this event then it would be great to add them at the same time.
-
Hi Mark any chance of the results being posted online??
regards
andy

Hi Andy, if you can type then up and send in as a word doc then yes, no problem.
-
I have to say, I really enjoyed the run. Good marshalling and very well organised. The field on the way up to the canal was unbelievably muddy and my running shoes will never recover! However, mud aside, it's a definite for next year. Looking forward to the pictures.
-
Hi,
Any idea when the results or the pics will be posted on the site?
Cheers.
Great race BTW :)
-

Hi Andy,
I do have some photos but I've been waiting for the results - don't have them yet so they must have gone astray. Could you please send again to mark@marple-uk.com
Thanks,
Mark
-
Did you get the ones I sent?
-
Hi Howard,
I got the ones your wife sent, they are the ones I mentioned below and I was planning to add when I get the results from Andy. I have some great photos of the Food Festival too that people have sent in but I've been working late this week, so I'm a bit behind. Will catch up as soon as I can.
-
Ok, catching up now..........
Visit the 10k page for a couple of photos and the results / times. Will add the other pictures to the Virtual Tour soon.

And now we have a gallery of photos for the 2008 10k Run. Not many though, has anyone else got any we can add? Visit: http://visitmarple.co.uk/photos/thumbnails.php?album=65
-
We now have the results and times for the runners in last week's 2009 Marple 10k Trail Run. Go on over to www.marple-uk.com/10k to see them.
We hope to have some photo to add soon.
-
this link isn't working for me? just takes me to last years results? Am I doing something wrong?
-
This year's results have been added above last year's on the same page. My guess is that you have visited the page recently, before it was updated, and the old page is being displayed from your browser's cache memory.
If you right-click on the body of the page and then select "refresh" you will hopefully see the new version.
Let me know if this works or not.

I've sent a query to my contacts at the Fire Station and will let you know what they say.

There will be a 10K Trail this year on 7 September 2013.
The Fire Fighters are putting the info together at the moment and all details should be available by June.
Start times are likely to be the same as previous years but there may be a minor adjustments to the route.
Watch this space for more.

It would be nice to send off all runners at the same time, rather than the current time-staggered start. I appreciate that the width of the Middlewood Way makes this tricky, but could the race start at the rugby club and lap the field once or twice to spread runners out before they emerged onto the trail?

Thanks for the info, good to know it is happening this year again.
