Great video! I ran it last week (2024)……toughest race I’ve ever done! Way harder than the Sheff Half but really enjoyed it. Although it was 18 degrees and overcast not 27 and sunny 🙂
@@TheWu I’ve been wondering about the winter version as in if it’s the same route what shoes would you wear!? As you’d need full on claw spec trail shoes for the off road stuff but there’s also a lot of pavement involved as well. I’m not too good at coping with the heat that you ran in last year (so was lucky on that side of things this year) so am thinking the winter one is a safer bet
We have been toying with the idea of this event. Lots from our club did in on the Saturday. It does look like in places you just have to be patient whilst passing people walking / running slowly. Unexpected drama at the end with your brother - hope he's fully recovered.
Yea for most it's just to enjoy the day, there is a competitive field that started much earlier so they will have all the stages quite clear. Brother was fine later back home but I've told him he has to train properly next time!
Ah yea if you were running it as a proper race and go over the recovery time at the end results it will penalise you. We actually had some on ours but obviously didn’t care as we were just chilling for most of it.
I did it in 22 ....loved it ....very tough but my favourite event of all time
Yea I think I’ll do it again. Loved it last time.
This looks like an awesome event! The breaks are right up my street 😂 Hope your brother is feeling better. Your little one is so cute too!
Yea definitely one to run. I think Hugo will make it his traditional spot with ice pops.
Might make it a tradition to have Hugo give away ice pops every year 😂 #icepopbaby
Great stuff! There's no other race like it. I did it last summer and also the winter one in January, which was incredibly muddy.
Yea not sure I’m up for the winter one haha I’m rubbish off road as it is. I would definitely end up face first in the mud 😂
Great video!

It’s awesome isn’t it. I hope I can do it next year. Just hope the events don’t clash on the same date.

Well done all. I have to run this one day
The Wu club
Great vlog, looks like a fun event. Sophie seems lovely.
It really is! Thanks for the comment.
Saw your Bro today. Not learnt his lesson from summer 😂
haha he loves the winter edition.
Thanks for another great video !
My pleasure!
Quality video and I’ve never heard of this event before but looks insane fun!
There’s the reason to come Sheffield right there and make your debut on the Wu mate!
@@TheWu got yourself a deal! 🫡
Great effort on a very warm day! 🥵
That’s what did it for my brother. Hills and sun 🌞 a brutal combo. 😅
How do I buy the Wu merch?
😅 soon
What happens if you go over the max recovery times, like spending too long in the "non race" section?
Ah yea if you were running it as a proper race and go over the recovery time at the end results it will penalise you. We actually had some on ours but obviously didn’t care as we were just chilling for most of it.
@@TheWu great thanks! Looking into doing the winter one in January.
You coming up Newcastle to do the GNR?
Nah I've never entered the ballot. One year I'll try do it, many people I know have and spoke well of it.
@@TheWu its excellent , support is unbelievable on the full route & the red arrows fly past 🫡
