Latest update a few changes– to help organisers we have had to alter 2 races – Princetown race will no longer run in the series( may be back for winter series) and dropping into its pace is the Buckland Bounder on June 10th – another great village race. Please also note that Burrator is now the 24th June.( back to its village start)
Thanks to the great enthusiasm of last years runners ( over 600 plus runners in senior series) and the keen enthusiasm of host race organisers and clubs – we are please to announce the dates for next years series. Plus we hope that the series will be 12 events – ( we are waiting on confirmation on 2 races) So we hope you can have best 9 races from 12 for the series scoring.
Most of the races will have minimal or no marking as they are fell races and picking your line is part of the fun!
So here are the events and dates ( any further details check with each race), hopefully all races will be taking 100+ runners. Any amendments we will post as soon as we know or as entry sites become live. Enjoy!
