We may still only be in February but race reports are back and the season is already starting to hot up! Look out for plenty of race reports and some exciting new features coming up this year! But for now lets hand over to our outgoing Chairman, Fred McCraig, as he embarks on his journey towards going long once more, at the Maverick Races West Sussex Half Marathon!\u003c/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\u0022color: rgb(255, 255, 255);\u0022\u003eThis year, I have been working on the business end of going long to see if there is another full distance somewhere in the tank. What better way than a canter across the South Downs at Amberley. 23km of trails and 460m of up?\u0026nbsp;\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\u0022color: rgb(255, 255, 255);\u0022\u003eI had heard of the Maverick series and some of you have taken part in races around the UK. They seem to be well organised and offer one of my key needs - nice routes. This did not disappoint. It actually seemed to be so attractive I persuaded Mrs.M to join in the fun and add purpose to our Team McCaig training endeavours.\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\u0022color: rgb(255, 255, 255);\u0022\u003e The start was a leisurely 10am with a field of about 600 runners. As there is a race series, there were some serious runners jostling for room at the front. I watched from the sides. They were off and away up the first 250m climb up Amberley Mount whilst the main field jostled for room up the narrow track. Buoyed with enthusiasm and sharp elbows, I was happy with my own start but found that I had gone out a little hot and had to have a little word with myself over a Precision Fuel Chew. Mrs. M decided to take the sensible option and enjoyed the views and kept her distance from some of the runners with \u0022stinky tops\u0022.\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\u0022color: rgb(255, 255, 255);\u0022\u003eThe weather was fair and we threaded around the woods and downs to finally pop out near Arundel and the final 10k along a very soggy valley that had everyone cursing, especially those who had shelled out on some very expensive Terrex trainers. It is a trail race and there will be mud!\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\u0022color: rgb(255, 255, 255);\u0022\u003eWe squelched our way up the final kilometres and threaded our way through the Amberley Museum gift shop, where one can purchase souvenirs from the heydays of road making, and crossed the line to the tunes of Myley Cyrus and aromas of wood fired pizza ovens. All was good and it was time for a recovery session at the Goodwood Hotel and Spa. That\u0027s the price for asking Mrs. M to join you on an off road trail race..\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cspan style=\u0022color: rgb(255, 255, 255);\u0022\u003eI would highly recommend the Maverick Series of events and have had a look at some of the longer events in the season, next up is the Testway 40 in
