UKA British Fell Relay Champs
On this weekend (Sun 18), taking place at Kirkland Leaps (GR 087184). Last year saw a mammoth battle between Bingley and Mercia, with the Yorkshire men coming out on top. Calder Valley beat the Bingley girls in the women’s race.
The 2009 British Fell & Hill Relay will be based at The Leaps, Kirkland, nr. Ennerdale, West Cumbria. The Fells are on the fringe of the Lake District and are often by-passed by the hordes of Fell walkers and Fell runners but are well known to West Cumbrians. The rolling grassy fells are of unspoilt beauty and make a perfect setting for the Relay
The terrain is not rugged thus the running will be fast and not too technical. By contrast the Orienteering leg will be a tester!
Cumberland Fell Runners previously organised the 10th Relay from Braithwaite, Keswick in 1998 which was reported as being very successful and are honoured to be asked to organise the 2009 event.
Full preview can be found on the Cumberland Fell Runners site.
