Helvellyn & The Dodds appears to have been moved back to a tbc date in september.
Yeah, I spotted that. I was planning on doing it instead of Fairfield.
Looks like the original comment on both of the Kong races about being open to locals/those staying locally has been removed though so might do the Clough Head/Great Dodd one instead.
I'm doing that one Dan...Quote:

Damn - just signed up for a cycle event on July 18th so will have to give Callow a miss.Quote:

Yes unfortunately Callow is currently clashing with the Welsh 1000 Metres weekend as well.
And of course the Skyline clashes with the LDMT this year too.
The FRA website has a link on the front page to the 50 at 50 series, which has a whole load of race dates confirmed/provisional.
Some notable ones...
Sedbergh Hills potential 14th August
Grisedale Horseshoe 4th Sept
Langdale 9th Oct
Very sadly Ben Nevis is cancelled again. I had really thought/hoped/expected this would go ahead. The good news is that we have been offered the chance to defer our entries again, which I appreciate.
But Lothersdale will (hopefully) be running in June. Less entries available (via SportsIdent), and done with a time trial format but something will occur!!
Coledale Horseshoe is back on September 25th
British Championship will be a one-off race this year, AM in England, Sept 4th. (announced on facebook page, although i shamelessly copied the news from one DaveMole)
Race hasn't been announced but my prediction would be Grisedale.
Just been speaking to the RO of the Sheldon Fell Race. He is not putting it on this year as he does not think it appropriate to have a couple of hundred runners descend on the villagers so soon.
Disappointing, but I cannot disagree.
Grisedale is one of my favourites. That will sort the men from the boys.Quote:

A wonderful race! Nobody ever forgets the last climb. Some First In Category wins count more than others and this - in grim conditions - is one of mine. :)Quote:

Will be pre entry only, SI entries not open yet. Max 70 runners overall. Time trial format, maximum of 2 off every 30s, half hour window for starting.....
I read on facebook that the 3 Peaks Cyclo-cross is cancelled this year. Don't know much about it or when it was scheduled...
It’s a massive event, starting and finishing at the Helwith Bridge pub here in Ribblesdale. I suspect it’s the logistics of having so many cyclists at the start and finish, plus all the hangers on who come to watch that makes it difficult to runQuote:

Lothersdale fell race now taking entries. So this has not been lost. Limited numbers only!!
https://www.sientries.co.uk/event.ph...&event_id=8404
Entries now open for the one-off British Champs race on 4th September.
It isn't Grisedale as i had boldly predicted.... it is a one-off course from Dufton.
Where is the entry to be found Travs, and, is it the High Cup Nick course?

Diolch :)
Hoping some other "mere mortals" get registered soon... looks like the entire elite of fellracing, plus me....
I'm in, which will bring the average runner ability down a bit!Quote:

Is this Covid, Peak District NP permissions (shouldn't be as it was in their calendar long-term), or lack of uptake (clashes with a champs race, and the thought of doing this route in summer just seems wrong to me!)
Yes i must admit i had an entry place originally for Jan, but summer conditions make it totally different and i didn't fancy it. But last time i looked i think there were at least 100 paid up so doubt it's lack of uptake.
Can only imagine something to do with covid concerns or permissions.
Nicky was prompting more people to enter last week
King Of The Castle cancelled/postponed. I believe it was 9th January.
Guisborough Woods(27th Dec) and Captain Cook's (1st Jan) also off.
