What Distance

[Parker]

Hi Guys

 

I keep reading Sprint, Sprint/Middle, Long Distance, but what are the distance's plus if I was thinking of buying any I would buy "horses for courses" as I have also read about "All Purpose" which I would be doubtful about one strain covering all.

 

I live about 30 miles from Cardiff, whats the popular distance to go for to race ?

Sprint up to 200 miles, middle up to 400 miles and distance to 500+ miles, some say marathon over 700 miles, roughly speaking.

Depends on your situation which you decide, family life etc.

Sprint and middle are one day races, the others can stretch into 2 or more days. The racing systems for each type of racing also varies and you should find a system that suits your lifestyle, then stick to it.

I would go to some of the local fanciers in your area parker and ask for their views and opinions and you might even be lucky enough to come away with a few promised Ybs to get you started again when you set up
