Flower Scar Fell Race 2022 - New Route for 2022!

Flower Scar Fell Race is due to go ahead on Saturday 19th February at 11:15am (junior races from 10am) but there are some late changes that I’ve needed to implement.

Unfortunately, due to environmental issues and fallen trees in the forest area on the normal route, I’ve had to re-route the race to avoid this area. However, I’ve checked it out and I think it still makes for a great course. Due to the proximity to the race date now, I’ve decided that I will simply flag the entire course this year rather than the usual navigational section on Todmorden Moor. If this has to become the normal route for future years then I will re-introduce the nav section from 2023 but for simplicity I’ll keep it flagged this year.

I will also be adding a 30 minute early start option for runners who would expect to be in the bottom 20% of the field to give everyone ample chance to make the 1:15pm cut off at checkpoint 6. I will update the race page on the FRA site and the Todmorden Harriers website ASAP.

Full FRA Kit will be required for this race. Despite this race now being fully flagged, you will need to be able to navigate off the hill if you divert from the course, so a map and compass are compulsary and I will NOT be accepting a buff as a hat. No Kit, No Run, No Exceptions!
