Your last chance to be part of the Club Fell Champs in 2024 – maybe just be in the results table with your name listed for posterity, or maybe you are tussling for that top spot. A Yorkshire Dales short and sweet – straight up to the top of Great Whernside and back down again. A race of two halves – lovely grassy running on the lower part and then out onto the rough, rocky and steep open fell, both to be negotiated up and down.
Details : Start 12:00. Age 16 and over. Enter on the Day – £8
Map – see map in header or attached file.
Full details of the Club Fell Champs are in the Fell section under Disciplines; 12 races, your best 6 at two distances, to score. 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, if the weather is good the Race Organiser may waive some or all of the kit requirement. 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. There is an Introduction to Fell Running which may answer some of your queries, on Team App under Disciplines : https://bingleyharriers.teamapp.com/clubs/567035/teams/977224?_detail=v1
I would like as many people to join in as possible even if you can’t manage 6 events to score.
