    no races go to the artistically arranged pile of sticks in a bog that is the summit though,

    I can think of at least 13 races that go over or from here, but not all to the same point.

    To pick a winner we have to have some ground rules - count only races run in 2008, must be 100% running, must be in FRA/SHR/WFRA/BOFRA calendar or be a runners-only open-to-all race. Secondary races don't count (e.g. junior or short course alternatives).

    Scott said it had to be "used" for races which doesn't include having to visit the top :-)
    So you can add to that list Kinder Trial, making 7.
    So by my count it's Stoodley Pike just in the lead...

    Stoodley Pike (8): Stoodley Pike, Good Shepherd, Shepherds Skyline, Coiners, Haworth Hobble, Hebden Bridge Fell Race, Noonstone, Calderdale Way Relay (Erringden Moor not 2008)

    Kinder (7): Kinder Downfall, Kinder Trog, Tanky's, HPM, Edale Country day, Edale Skyline, Kinder Trial

    Scafell Pike (4): Borrowdale, Scafell Pike, Old County Tops, Great Lakes Run

    Moel Famau (4): Llangynhafel loop, Moel Famau, Clwydian Hills, Hotfoot up Famau

    Bullock Smithy visits Edale Cross, which is most of the way to the top of Kinder so I reckon that counts - Kinder 8 races, joint winner so far

    Re: the hill used most for rac

    I'm trying to get over 3 for Snowdon but failing. So far:
    Welsh 1000m, International, Peris Horseshoe. Any others?

    Somebody mentioned Pendle:
    Full Tour, Half tour, Pendle Cloughs, Pendle fell race = 4. Any others?

    What about High Brown Knoll, Sheepstones, Crow Hill etc? Surely lots of races round there, but I'm not that familiar with them.
