This weekend
After a frantic few weeks of World, Commonwealth Championship and international racing, focus turns to the fell relay season as the Ian Hodgson tops the bill for many a UK fell runner this weekend…
The weather looks pretty decent for much of England and Wales, and the Welsh hills play host to their fair share of races with the Fan Fawr, classic Arenig Fawr and tough, long Pumlumon Challenge in mid Wales.
Tomorrow (Saturday) sees the excellent Coniston Trail race up in the Lake District, part of the Lakeland Trails series, which has again see a hugely successful year and record numbers taking to the trails of northern England.
Other highlights include the 20 mile beast that is the Hope Moors and Tors race in the Peak District, and the excellent Ben Venue race up in the Trossachs.
As usual all of the info on the above, plus much more on the English, Welsh and Scots race scenes, online at the WFRA, FRA and the SHR sites.
Whatever you’re up to, enjoy!
