The British Championships are under the control of BA/UKA MRAG and the proposal on the British Championships is from them.

The consultation survey has been devised by the FRA to gather the thoughts of the FRA membership, FRA being the representative body for English fell running. FRA will then feed back to MRAG. It has been put on the FRA website and facebook page, and there will be a mailshot to club reps in the near future to publicise around clubs.

The Intercounties is now (and has been for a while?) the 'Intercounties Mountain Running Championships' and as such is now more fully marked and traily than it might once have been, and sometimes used as a Trials race.

As has been mentioned, it's a balance between purity and pragmatism. We don't expect a nice simple answer from the survey, but we need to get people's viewpoints. It also means that there's eyes on this proposal and people know what's happening - I wouldn't want something like this to be perceived as being 'snuck through' - by FRA or MRAG!
