Rich Roberts at Long Mynd 2012

There is an air of ‘the season is getting started’ about this weekend, with a curtain raiser on the Welsh scene at Tarren Hendre, the excellent Wadsworth Trog, the stunning (and tough) Long Mynd Valleys and the cracking Devil’s Burdens relay in Scotland…

Other races include the Sidmouth 4 Trigs Challenge down in the South West, the Wild Night Run on Dartmoor, Titterstone Clee on the Shropshire / Wales border and the classic Norman Matthews Winter Hill Race nr Rivington.

More info on racing for the rest of the year online from respective Welsh, English and Scottish associations via the WFRA, the FRA and the SHR sites. The weekend weather looks to be reasonable on Saturday, but changing to be wet and even snowy again on Sunday, so whether racing or just running on the hills for pleasure take plenty of good kit and enjoy!
