Oooooooh, Shap Surprise. I love it!!!
A course based on Harry Howgill's lunchtime runs up at the quarries by any chance?

[FellMonster]

Are these xc, off road, multi - terrain, fell races or a mix?
Also, how long are the races typically? Sounds pretty fantastic

Thanks for the info. SamT

Hi I'm a new kid on the block, I'm aged 10 and run for Blackpool Wyre & fylde.
I've not been running long but really enjoy it and I'd like to get in to Fell Running( my mum said it's good for builing up stamina) although she still struggles and she's been doing it for years

My mum and I have found this Kendal Winter League but would like further information regarding distance and height for both juniors and seniors for all of the races but especially for the one at Scout Scar on Sunday 6th.

Can anyone help please??

Welcome to the block kid

And your Mum's right...best sport and type of running in the world!

Have a look on the helm hill site for details....

Try... http://www.helmhillrunners.co.uk/winter_league.html to start with!

Harry H Howgill is a Helm Hiller and has a big part to play in this series. He's on the forum very frequently and can let you know the junior heights / distances.. Try private messaging him to get his attention!

Be good to see you at these races.

Have a great season

..Oh...and Scout scar's about 4 miles for seniors and not too much climbing, probably 600ft'ish (...memory fades of course ) Most of the races are between 3 - 5 miles - though do have some serious amounts of ascent in. Scouts scar, Helm Hill and Birkrigg are the least hilly (emphasis on word least though!)

And I guess Scout scar's about 1 mile for under 12's (...but not sure about the U12 distance to be honest; I can't see that it'd be more than this)

Scout Scar race tomorrow, !st in the series its quite fast being runnable for all the route. Good race for blowing the cobwebs away!!
Kids races start at 12.00, seniors follow after.
Brilliant series with some very testing races similar to BOFRA.

Beware the race tomorrow... the Westmorland Gazette said something about a different course with more challenging climbs

What time will the senior race start?
