Hebden Bridge tourist office are looking at the idea of promoting the area as a fell running mecca - possibilty listing all races in the locality.
How many races are there within a 15 mile radius - and is there anywhere in the UK with more?

Re: Races within 15m of Hebden
With that lot, there'll be no room for tourists, only the runners; probably struggle to find space for the RO's & marshals??Originally Posted by Trig
Blackstone Edge and Kevin Shand's other race in Littleborough, can't remember it's name.
Thieveley is already on the list, Linda. You're probably thinking of Kev's Wardle Skyline? Ian.
And how about Hades Hill, might just make it as the crow flies; not to mention Stringman's Race You to the Summit?

I was a bit of an oddball until I was abducted by aliens; but I'm perfectly OK now!
I was thinking of Turnslack, oh and Giant's Tooth.
