    Maybe "a lot" liked it? What is "a lot"?

    Pendle Sat 2 April
    Coiners Mon 2 May (BH)
    Sedbergh (Helm Hill) (uphill) Sun 22 May
    Clougha Sat 18 June TBC (Access issues)
    Arnison (up & down) Sun 26 June
    Viking Chase Sun 25 Sep

    I assume these dates that I have been sent are all but confirmed. Do i smell the start of yet more controversy and discontent or rather the same old same old.

    Well whatever you want to call it, I'm just asking. From the dates you have given, there's a 3 month gap between Arnison and Viking Chase, is that correct?
    I don't think 'a lot' has a specific amount, but people who I've spoken to have said this.

    I was sent this info so I have no idea whether the datea re corretc. i asume they are as they sound about right based on the usual calender. Its a problem with junior races being able to be at your best for all of them especially when there is a gap. I guess it measn that alot of people will target the first 5 all within a 3 month period and not be too bothered if a bit of fitness has gone by the last one. Such is life. Hope you enjoy them especially the 2nd one.

    Before anyone plans their calendar for next year (and this thread races off in a mis-guided direction), it might be better to wait for the official announcement, which will happen when all aspects of the six races have been agreed.

    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.

    Why not - 5 of them have good senior races.

    Apologies. I thought the information was freely out there already hence the post with dates. Sorry if that has caused any upset. You are right of course Lecky it is perhaps not right that any of us have stolen the thunder from the new Coordinator.
