Championship Races 2023

It's a nice route and a worthy addition, but it's in a congested area of the calendar, both temporal and location. Maybe finding a niche in a less populated area might work? A bit of weather could make it an interesting race - though could make access to the parking an issue.

With a bit of classic fell runner's navigation, it would be possible to include the Lower Borrowdale Skyline while running your Tebay race.

you'd hope they'd notice crossing the M6 and the west coast mainline, but then again we are talking about fell runners...

Fairfield is 50 up on waitlist already, i probably won't get in, so travs will have to wait for his revenge.

I'd recommend getting on the waiting list. I wouldn't be surprised to see a high turnover of entries.

A quick look at the entry list and its going to be another tough battle to get near the points.... perhaps not quite as loaded in the Vet category as Long Mynd Valleys was, but with 550 entries there's always going to be a good number of "unknown" veterans on top of the usual suspects.

I've not entered Fairfield as I've got Cadair Idris the following Saturday so am being sensible and not try and do two Champs races in a week!

[Travs]

I've got inter counties at Sedbergh the weekend before Fairfield, so a tough 7 days... both going to be quick and runnable, the counties especially which is a "mountain running" course.

I did have Yorkshire Three Peaks the weekend before that as well, but in light of getting the Warwickshire vest, the Three Peaks has got to wait for another year.

10am friday is when the open entries commence. Limit of 550, and 385 have been taken by FRA members.

I was lucky enough to get an entry just after 10.00 this morning - then I watched the rest of the remaining places fill up in about 20 minutes.

I see that Colin Donnelly was 1st v60 at the Scottish Champs race today....

There's one for you to aim for Llani...!!

I've got an entry for Fairfield as a result of drop-outs, just need to avoid the bad step now.

MrB i don't know if you're on facebook, but MikeT's photos on there from his run last tuesday are very helpful...
