Widdop : A classic high moorland event, Widdop Fell Race. A proper midweek, fell running toughie, the race is set on the stunning hills overlooking Widdop Reservoir.
Beginning at The Pack Horse Inn, the race begins with a fast paced dash down the road, picking up the trail to the moorlands. You’ll take in 7 miles and 1,200ft of Calderdale’s finest fells, before finishing with a dash back up towards the newly reopened Pack Horse Inn. The race is fully flagged. Full kit may be required.
Sorry about the late Event notification of this race – details have always been available as below for the Fell Champs as a whole. If anyone is interested in going over – let me know.

Enter on the day – give yourself plenty of time to get there and entered – Pack Horse Inn (The Ridge), Widdop (GR SD952316)
Map – see photo above and attached file.
Kit requirements: Please bring FRA recommended kit. Full kit may be required if the weather is not great; be prepared.

Full details of the Club Fell Champs are in the Fell section under Disciplines.
All the races are run under Fell Runners Association rules – see Requirements for Runners on https://www.fellrunner.org.uk/documents.php. Assume you need full kit and note that electronic / GPS navigation aids are not allowed in races.

If you are new to the fells but would like to give it a go we can help with advice, kit, maps etc. I would like as many people to join in as possible even if you can’t manage 6 events to score.
We are also targeting teams at the English Fell Champs races and relay teams for the Bradford Millenium Way and the October Fell Relays – details under Disciplines.
Get in touch with the Fell Team Managers Becky Weight (beckyweight@btinternet.com) or Andy Jebb (andrewjebb2@gmail.com) if you are interested or to chat about what would be good for you, or pick up with some of the regular fell runners on our training sessions.
