Rab Mountain Marathon 2010

Date: 05/09/2010 00:00:00


Dark and White Events' ever-popular Mountain 
Marathon is fast approaching.  

The location has been confirmed for the north-eastern Lake District, which promises some classic mountain-marathon running.  

We'll be there in the Long Score class, and hoping
for a better Day 1 than last time we ran together, 
which saw us bite off far more than we could chew 
on the flanks of Skiddaw!   Day 2 was better, but 
being top-scorer isn't much good if you've lost   everything the day before!

Anyway, here are some ideas for your kit list, all 
in-stock and available with FREE UK DELIVERY - just
click on the product name to be taken to the relevant page.
