We've heard plenty about the Senior champs for 2011, but does anyone know what races will be in the 2011 jnr Champs ??

Before anyone spills the beans... Would it be helpful to let everyone know, or are sensitive discussions with race organisers still taking place?
I think they'll be announced in due course - it was fixed after the Viking Chase last year which means end September.
Read the Junior Co-ordinator thread and it's clear that the work has been done on this matter.
Any news ?
Pendle
Coiners
Sedbergh (Uphill)
Arnison (Up & Down)
Clougha
Viking Chase
dates - to be confirmed.
I can confirm also that the Pendle Race (2nd April) will also be the Lancs Champs 2011
Sounds cracking, WP will the u18s at pendle do the same course as the seniors do you know ?
I ran and ran until my Muscles burned and my veins pumped battery acid, ....And then i ran some more.
Could i just ask, how come a uphill only race has been included in the FRA championship again? A lot of people who I spoke to disagreed on organising the championship like this last year, just wondering if anybody's input had been put forward about this?Originally Posted by Witton Park
I agree with Jim, the race schedule has not been confirmed and it is not helpful to have it posted here until it is.
You can assume that when it is totally confirmed the Junior Coordinator will publish it, and that may not be me.
As for the English Uphill Championship Race being in the Championship, I can't see any reason why a FRA Medal Awarding race shouldn't be in. Just because "a lot of people" don't like something doesn't mean it is wrong.
It is completely impossible to satisfy everyone when choosing championship races and you only have to count 4. If you can't run uphill well, don't do the Uphill Race, if you can't do steep, short, up and down races, don't do them, if you can't do long hard races, don't do them - however, if you want to win the Junior Champs, you'll have to make sure that you can do them, or your competitors will take easy points off you.

Well said Lecky - by the way, I like CCR's dates
Not a junior anymore so won't be there.
