Fielden Cup this Thursday for those who fancy it

If you want to build a historical race into your Thursday night session, you could do a little warm up from UTUP to the Jolly Crofters, pay your 200 pennies and then compete in the Fielden Cup, 2.2 miles along Georges Lane to Pike Cottage and back (S/F by Matchmoor Lane). We have prizes and something edible for all finishers. You could then do a couple more miles before the presentation with optional drinking in the Jolly Crofters. If you are a paid-up member of HRMI Harriers victory will seal the prestigious Fielden Cup - you'll need a big mantlepiece for its display. It is a handicap race so helpful to let me know in advance for estimating a sensible handicap time (EtU got yours calculated along with 50 other harriers from recent races). Hopefully at least 10 will run but over 30 would put pressure on the finishing team. I wonder what is the record field for the event.
