Re the Guisborough 3 Tops, yes. Dave Parry is running it twice next year. Once in April for the locals as part of the Winter Series and again in September for the English Champs as the field is limited (to 350 I think).

Thanks for that, I was thinking it might be last in this seasons winter league and then first in next seasons winter league, but your explanation makes more sense. Shame it has to clash with Ben Nevis, I was fancying that next year, think I might go with 3 tops though now.

This years Handbook/Calendar is again, as always, the most welcome item of mail I receive around Christmas. However I do have one gripe. Over the last few years, miles and feet have quietly disappeared from the listings.
Why? I am sure that very many members first choice of measurement is still miles/feet.
I know that on the website under the Events/Races this Month tab most RO's show distances and ascent in imperial and metric.
Can we please have imperial back in the Handbook?

... quietly disappeared...

The Calendar was metricised for 2012 so 2019 is the 8th year since the change which was timed to coincide with other bodies eg Scottish Hill Runners Calendar, and so as to be consistent with UKA events eg British Fell Championships.

It was announced in The Fellrunner Autumn 2011 page 12.

Well this old codger is well happy with metric measurements so simple compared to imperial
