Moorfoot Festive Handicap, Innerleithen - Sunday 22nd Dec, 10am

I am organising a Festive Handicap in the woods behind my house in Innerleithen for Moorfoots and friends - with the aim is to be a bit of fun. Meet at 10am First start at 10.05am on Sunday 22nd Dec, starting near the Cuddy Bridge off Leithen Road here
Our house is Burnside 52 Leithen Road immediately south of the bridge


The start will be just by the Cuddy Bridge. There will be a choice of routes.
A longer route will be about 5 miles / 8km with a 300m climb, almost all in the first 2 miles (one of those surely it can't get steeper climb which then does!).

A 2 ¼ miles / 3 ½ km suitable for juniors and those who simply fancy a shorter route - the proposed route is shown below.
The routes are a mix of trail and forest road but it will be muddy and uneven in places - be prepared to get wet feet!

Please let me know if you are planning to attend so I can try to work out handicaps. Also I could do with a marshal or two if you are not up for a run, but can get by without as I will mark the route.

Hope to see you there, Mince pies and refreshments will be served afterwards in our conservatory after but it isn't heated so bring a warm coat! 

Be aware if serious winter conditions occur then we may have to cancel but I will communicate that via email/facebook although the long range forecast suggests it will be OK.
