Fell Race Championship 2009

  • Fell Racing Safety: Certain Rules apply with certain races, these are mostly determined by the weather conditions at the time of the race.  All competitors are requested to have on hand, at each event, full body protective clothing, whistle, map of the area, compass, and emergency food, ie Mars bar or the like.  It is a rare occasion to use the equipment on these marked local races but carrying them gives confidence and we are all in the same boat.
     

  • Middleton Harriers are organising Eddie's Revenge on the 24th June
     

  • Run the Moors Fell Race Grand Prix 2009: Participating clubs are Rochdale Harriers & AC, Rossendale Harriers, Radcliffe AC, Middleton Harriers and Saddleworth Runners.  Minimum age 18 for all races 6 miles and over.  Best 5 races count.
