Anyone know the distance/height/route for this race on Sat 19th May? I am planning around my shifts at the moment and seeing what races I can fit in. Same day as Fairfield.

Not too sure, as it is a BOFRA race though, I would expect it to be short and steep.
A mammoth 2.6 miles and 1200ft with a hurdle out of the show field at the start
A bit short to justify driving up for me I think.
might be short, but not a good one for the legs for many days afterwards!
Don't forget about all the races for the kids too. It's a great day out.

No. Race was Saturday and my legs are still shattered and it's Tuesday evening.

Helm Hill's Tom Addison is on form at the moment; he's flying in training and has his first FRA win at Pinhaw Moor on Friday. The forum's very own AG has some impressive runs last year and hopefully we'll see him again this year. Previous champion Ted Mason always has it in him to do well at Sedbergh. Mark Horrocks and his ascending speed could do well on the steep course. Hopefully the RAF will give Lee Athersmith a weekend or two off too. Then there are always the ringers that turn up. Sedbergh is Joe Symond's local race, and he's not on the Fairfield entry list. Any wins this year will be well earned.
So here's hoping for some good weather for all at the show on Saturday.

Had a great day out.
Children were buzzing after their run and Chris was pleased with his fifth place.
Weather was fine until the under 12's started! Then all hail let loose!!
