    Blackfell Race

    Only a week to go for the first running of the Blackfell Race starting and finishing in Kettlewell. Based on the Saturday race of the now retired Wharfedale TTT this is a Cat AM race.
    Details can be found at http://www.bingleyharriers.co.uk/events/blackfell-race/

    It'd be nice to have a good field for the first running, hope to see you there!

    I am delighted to see this race back.

    I ran it five times when it was part of the wonderfully organised TTT series and it was great to have an event taking in Great Whernside.

    New events without a Calendar listing always struggle in the first year for attendees but Black Rock has the potential to become a classic and I applaud Bingley for bringing a new AM to the Calendar.
