Please note that the Flower Scar Inter Counties race to be held on Saturday 11th May is an open event, entries are therefore available to all runners. There is however a limit of 350 places. If you wish to run and guarantee yourself a place I would recommend pre-entry via Sportsoft.
If you are a County Team Manager and have not yet been in contact with either myself or Andy Watts (FRA Inter Counties co-ordinator) then please do so ASAP. We need an indication of how many County runners will be in attendance to assist with race organisation.
Our contact details are on:

Runners selected by their County will of course be guaranteed a place however if the race limit is reached in advance we may have to close open entries.
Race HQ is the Hare and Hounds pub on Burnley Road, Todmorden, OL14 8EA. Food will be available (a BBQ outside is planned with the full pub menu available too) and prize presentations will be held here after the race. Medals and prizes will be given for the Inter Counties champs by the FRA with a separate prize giving for Open runners only. Best estimate of timing for the prize presentation is around 2pm.
If you intend to spectate on the course please ensure that you keep any dogs on leads, especially through the farmland areas. This week is the end of lambing time in this part of the valley - we rely on maintaining good relations with local landowners to run this race. They have specifically requested dogs on leads!! Thank you.
