Junior challenge 2025

[Wheeze]

Please can someone confirm dates for Junior Challenge races for 2025? I want to introduce my 9 year old grandson to racing. He will be 10 in Feb 25.

Struth, where did those 9 years go?
So will Father Christmas be bringing him his first pair of traditional Walsh PBs or some other fancy make?
Hope it goes well, I’m sure he will make you a very proud grandad 👍.

Sorry to relate but its 12 years old chap! My eldest Grandson will be doing the Championship rather than the challenge. The younger one is 9 so its the Challenge for him.
In my shed I had an unworn pair of size 9 PB Elites....a sad reminder of my sudden absence from the racing scene 6 years ago. The PB's were ready for my new entrance in the V60 class which I wanted to win in my first year of entry...the best chance yeah? It never happened. But...the 12 year old is already in size nines so I gave them to him so he can try them in his cross country races and I've ordered another pair of size 2's for the younger lad. Their Dad is going to test the lads out on the Roseberry Topping New Year fell race and if they enjoy it, we shall enter them for the 2025 Championship/Challenge.
I think the 9 year old is a natural....he runs beautifully.
