You get an FRA Handbook/calendar by joining the FRA.

The next three months races are posted here.

Borrowdale 17m/6500' -August 2nd

Steel Fell 3m/1115' evening race again -Wednesday August 6th

or for those who like their fell races without fells, Round Latrigg 5.5m/800', again from Fitz Park -August 20th

online calendar currently lists up to end of July

(a nice gentle one to start you off might be Bampton Village on July 13th - 5.5M/800ft ascent)

turning to August:

stevenh's suggestion of Round Latrigg would be another good one to start with.

Aug.23rd - Weasdale Horseshoe (8M/2000ft) would be a "step up"

by September I expect you'll've joined the FRA (only £12) and got your own calendar...
