the committee are saying that they are dealing with this - but why are they only just doing something about this ..... more than 2 weeks into the new years racing.
I'll ask the question again.... Can the FRA guarantee that race organisers will not find there insurance invalid???

EVENT ORGANISERS/PROMOTERS

From FRA website:
2014 FRA SAFETY REQUIREMENTS FOR FELL RACES and RULES FOR COMPETITION
Introduction
Fell running is hazardous and overcoming its various challenges is an integral part of the enjoyment it provides to participants. It attracts competitors with a wide range of ability and experience and
those who are unfit and inexperienced in dealing with the hazards which mountain terrain and weather routinely present should consider the risk of personal harm. Anyone participating in a fell race may suffer an accident, the consequences of which could be fatal.
