Hi - as the title suggests, I'm totally new to fell running. I've always enjoyed running around the countryside so thought it would be great to get myself fit and take it all to a whole new level. Just wondered what the best way to learn the ropes would be? Am I right in thinking that all races have prizes according to age category, ie 30 - 40, 40 - 50 etc? If I'm right in thinking that, does that mean you can still run competitively regardless of your age??
I live in the dales and noticed a race in Kettlewell. Would this be a good first target?
