This weekend...
Buckden Pike action 2011
Round 2 of the English Fell Champs and the Buckden Pike race leads the way this weekend, and at 3.7 miles and almost 1600ft of climb this will be a lung-busting test for some of England’s best short-distance fell running exponents…
The race is over 30 years old and has a couple of fell legends (Colin Donnelly and Carol Greenwood) as its record holders and with it being a Championship counter there should be some furious racing at the head of affairs.
At the other end of the spectrum is the brand new Cwm Pennant race, almost 17 miles long and in it’s first year. None the less this Welsh beast should prove a great challenge and if local boys and girls are to be believed it could be a classic in it’s own right in the future.
Elsewhere there is the brilliant and super-tough Great Lakes Run, the epic Vegan Welsh 3000’s race and up in Scotland the Seven Hills of Edinburgh.
Much more besides with all details via the FRA, WFRA and SHR.
