Runnin :The Murder Mile

by Madman2 Posted on May 6, 2009

Next Tuseday outside the Dyvels pub near Corbridge, Tynedale Harriers will hold the annual 'Murder Mile'. A run up a 1:3, a series of hairpins, the road up Prospect Hill. It, according to my runnin chums, is a 'Fun Run', handicapped to make it more interesting. In my book fun and uphill and run don't belong in the same sentence. And not to be taken seriously, oh yeah? Who they kidding? There's food laid on in the pub afterwards, and plenty of craic promised, which is probably worth the 20 mins of pain? Or am I kidding myself?
