The thing which keeps fell runners alive, is a bit of nouse. You could send runners up the hill with full Himalayan expedition gear, but it's no alternative to common sense, and the impetus is on the individual runner to make their own mind up on the conditions, not organisers trying to outdo each other on how"safe" their race is.
If you want to be nice and safe, stay in bed. If you want to be responsible for your own safety, take up fell running. If it all goes to shit, blame yourself, not the organiser, but for God's sake, don't start coming up with all this, Thou shalt carry full kit crap.
