Next week im going to run the Dodd fell race, Wensleydale. This is an old show race that is being resurrected this year. Now i was just wondering if anybody out their knows of any sites or literature that tells of the history of these kind of events. I know at one point in history such races were popular in the lakes and would just be interested in finding out more about this subject and indeed which of these races still exist, I know there is still the Grasmere games race but not really much more than that
Any help would be much appreciated If i knew of many more I might do the circuit
