Winster Hill Race

When: Thursday 29th June 2023 19:00

Entry: £5 Pre-entry. ENTRY HERE. Limited entry of 150

Details: The Hill Race forms part of the Winster Wakes week long festival. Our race is an 'undulating' 4 miles using the lanes, trails and fields around the village. The course is marshaled at all the junctions and partially marked up. Its suitable for all levels of runner, challenging for the experienced runners and a great introduction to hill running for new runners.  

Start: Main Street, Winster, DE4 2DG

Distance: 4 mile

Climb: 581 ft

Terrain: Lanes and fields

Route Description: The route will be marshaled and partially marked.  

You have a fast opening mile where you can challenge your 1 mile PB. We then hit the 1st bump of the day. A few rolling fields to recover and a drop back down before the bit mean Dudwood climb takes you back above the village. The final 800m is a mad dash downhill through the village and ending a few meters before the beer garden.

Winster 2022

It was a wet one but a very well supported one. We went from setting up with sun lotion on to compiling the results shivering and protecting our pints from the rain. 

Yet again the village did us proud with a full set of helpers doing an amazing job of keeping the cars away and runners on track. Despite the weather (it really was horrible) we had a brilliant crowd cheering the runners down to the finish line. 

The full results are below, and thank you all for running and therefore supporting our little race, we hope you enjoyed it, we hope you'll be back next year, we hope we've got the results right and we hope you've all defrosted now. 

THANK YOU - john w , Youlgrave Harriers and Winster Wakes/Carnival.
