A few members I know already take part in this tough exhilarating discipline. Here are few early season events if you would like to have a go.
1. May 18th - Kildwick - 6 kilometres includes 245 metres ascent.
Kildwick is between Keighley and Skipton.
2. May 21st - Charlesworth Chase from Appletreewick
8.3 kilometres with 366 metres climb. Goes up to Simons Seat. I know its Keswick weekend but its a nice alternative for those not going
3. June 1st - Otley Chevin - Start, just off town centre.
4.5 kilometres, climb 210 metres. Lovely low key event.
4. June 4th - Peny Ghent.
Great run, just a bit of scrambling near the top, great downhill. 9.5 kilometres, climb 564 metres.
Members I know who have ventured may enlighten you too, myself and Sue, Sean Brennan, Keith Emery, Dan Wilson and possibly the distance guys, Graham Yare and Dave Cremins. Have I missed anyone?
Anyone thinking about this also read the Fell Runners Association website for further details of races noted here, other races, and the guidelines to adhere to (all commonsense) for doing fell running races.
Cheers,
Eric
