Does anyone have any idea of which races are being considered for next year yet?
Does anyone have any idea of which races are being considered for next year yet?
The only one I know is the Welsh 1000metres, which is the 50th year and also in the Welsh Champs.
That probably doesn’t answer your question in the slightest but it’s all I know, and one of the very best races...
Is it this time of year again? I can confirm once again that Shutlingsloe has not been considered.
Praying for runnable ones!!

....it's all downhill from here.
The Welsh Champs are interesting me next year, and I think i'll give them my best shot...
Cardingmill Canter
Welsh 1000m
Pen Y Fan
Trefiw Mill
Black Mountains
off the top of my head... and a couple of others too...
Interestingly the North Wales series shares two of these races, along with a couple more which I'd planned to do anyway, so the plan is to have a pop at both the Welsh and North Wales champs...
Welsh Champs:
Canter
Crybin
Welsh 1000s
Pen y Fan
Trefriw Mill
Black Mountains
Clwydians
up to four count, must be paid-up WFRA member to count, too....
....it's all downhill from here.
I fell foul of the paid-up member clause this year.... South Wales Series think I should have been 6th or 7th, but have been struck out the final results as wasn't a member of the WFRA. Fair enough I suppose.
Though it's good value at £10, and one race I did in the Series there was a £7 discount for WFRA members (£3 entry as opposed to the £10 I had to pay.... this was apparently a deliberate policy to encourage greater take-up of WFRA membership).
