Edale Skyline Fell Race

[Slippery Stones]

Seriously though, not many places you can get so much fun for 4 hours for £11.

Are you planning a fast one this year

As someone who has never organised anything I have to say I'm amazed that an event with 500 entries could lose money, let alone such a large amount. I don't doubt you for a single second, I'm simply amazed at your financial loss in such a well attended race where everyone paid whatever the entry fee was. Bloody good day out mind

For the simple reason that we made a decision to keep the entry fee down plus we had to fork out for the bogs and other unknowns, we could have charged £15 and made a profit but we didn't!

Run it slowly and get better value for your money.

And.... it's only when you try (or fall into) & start to organise events & races...
do you start to realise its a big (& sometimes) expensive ask....!!!
OK, fell running is wonderfully simple.... fell racing can be/is the most amazing fun!
At the sharp end of organising, be it small/big.... its fab fun too...?!
And, when it just gets that little bit bigger & bigger... or more tricky & complex.. and dangerous....
(which is why love it, as "IT"s' become so absent - in peoples lives)
the doing stuff & organising stuff... can be/get equally tough & tougher...
Than most things that fell runners do/dont & but/could do ...
(so I guess.... pay up & shut up.... or maybe just have a trot on the wilder side.. there is plenty out there)
Forget the moan... enjoy the race...!

Got my confirmation email, March is going to be a busy month!

Forget the moan... enjoy the race...!

Right on, luvver.

A classic race over great country (in every respect) - one to do and enjoy.

Sorry to hear that last year's spectacular version made a loss. The cost of dibber technology, no doubt!!

Will do as good as I can SS.
Try to plan as little as possible, take it as it comes and ultimately don't follow Jim Fulton (soz Jim).

Hi Folks
Does anyone know if the Harvey Dark Peak map would cover all of the race area?
I have o/s but would prefer to use Harvey if the Dark Peak one is suitable?
Thanks

I assume its this map you have "HARVEY Superwalker map at 1:25,000 scale" and yes it does cover the area.

Thanks for that.
At the mo I only have an ordnance survey map, but will now sort out a Harvey.
