I remember the blake st race from ooh maybe 20yrs ago. It was from the bottom to the top and the runners ran alone against the stop watch! A lot of them were walking from 2 thirds up!!

I lived there from 1964 to the mid 80s.

I remember my dad telling me about the race uphill. It must have been from the 1940s - 1960s sometime

It used to happen around early 1900's I believe as my Great Grandfather was in the Hallamshire Harries and I remember reading about it. Seb Coe used to run up Conduit Road when I was a kid as I used to see him. He lived on Marlborough Road just of Northumberland Road so it was straight up the road for him ?
