Clubs and Disciplinary Matters

[Witton Park]

18 year old athletes are permitted to take part in fell races up to 10Kms.
Lee Mill is 10.7Kms, hence 19 on the day.

That clearly states that the 10km limit is for 16 & 17 year olds.

18 year olds can run in any race and have done including the Three Peaks, Fairfield, Anniversary Waltz... to name a few I know of and they can also run the pairs and nav legs in the National Fell relays.

I think someone has confused the issue due to the FRA Junior top age now being U19. These FRA Junior races are capped at 10km even for the 18 year olds purely because the category includes 17 & 18 year olds.
