Info is up for the 2010 wild rover series:

I ran it last year and it was alot of fun, of course I am easily sucked in from the interlocking medals Smile

 

Not sure yet if I can run it. I was planning to focus on loger stuff next year and do not plan to run as many short races...hopefully I can squeeze it into my schedule, but it will depend on when the first HM falls

Fil and I have these races on our schedule for 2010. Sounds like a blast!

The Claddagh four miler always conflicts with Stu's 30K, 18.6 miles of hilly torture that is not to be missed.  And at $30 for an individual race or $75 for the series I don't have any problem passing it up.  It is fun though, maybe I'll show up after one or two of the races this year to drink Doug's beers.

You cheap bastard!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

 

I saw $75 and I was thinking the same thing.   Pay a premium for the privelege of running in the snow and ice.  Limited to a 1000 - so hurry up and enter.

 

I'm still seriously considering running the series. 

 

Do all the sweaty smelly runners fit into those little pubs?  Seems like a fire code problem.

We're a close bunch, what's a little sweat between friends? I think the towns were chosen specifically because they don't even have fire codes.

Well I bit the bullet and dropped the coin for the series...It was a lot of fun last year. Hopefully I can beat all my times from last year, since they are pathetic. However, I'm running a HM the week before this series starts, so it will be interesting...Damn I'm really taking a chance with all these winter races.
