Without wanting to give anything away that isn't common knowledge, there seemed to be rumour flying about that another race may be added to the trophy. Anyone know if true, and how it may affect the format/number of races needed to complete...?

Page 61 of the FRA 2016 Calendar makes things perfectly clear.Quote:

Borrowdale has never struggled for numbers so it need not be amongst the compulsory "two from Super Long" list.
Buttermere is a worthy addition to the Calendar: a "serious" race for "serious" fell runners and in the context of why the LCT was established it seems right to elevate it to LCT status (!) to broaden its appeal.
Bill and Ben are two of the nicest people in fell running and I applaud the changes they are making, which, although it was not necessary, they were kind and gracious to discuss with me before making the changes.
Does this mean the abreviation "SR" will be added to the race description ? Might rule me out , will there be checks at the start?
I personally found Buttermere Horseshoe harder than Ennerdale and Wasdale....it's a brute of a race, great addition.
