searching for races by area?

[Luv Shack]

As mentioned by Bleaklow....
Hayfield Fell Races / KFR website @ http://www.cs.man.ac.uk/~temples/hc/
Steve T has created & maintains a very good list of our "local" races + links, there are other such sites out there too.

This is a very useful map of where the Scottish hill races are located. Perhaps a few, regional, English and Welsh equivalents could magically materialise: http://scottishhillracing.co.uk/Map.aspx

There's a local fell race section on a few of the websites

Glossopdale has got a local fell race map here.

And the hayfield fell race site has a local diary, steveT is updating the site with next years details at the moment

Dark peak equivalant here

The Glossopdale site already has one

Here's a quick hack that I've done. http://www.aqvi55.dsl.pipex.com/run/races.htm

You can either select an area to see all the races in that area or a UK postcode and a distance value to see all races within that radius from the postcode.

There are only fifteen races or so and only the Lakes and Yorkshire as areas but it is just proof of concept.

Thanks Bleaklow, and I like the way all the useful info pops up. This is the model.

For others you can usually find a clue in the address of the organiser as they are, in general, not too far away from where the race is to take place. This isn't always the case though so beware

Anniversary Waltz from Stair near Keswick....... race organisers Leicestershire!!!!

Jura Fell Race too. The organiser isn't even from that country.

I've added pretty well all the Lakes races - the popup that appears when you hover over a marker now shows basic details and links to any associated website. The markers are colour coded according to the length of the race. http://www.aqvi55.dsl.pipex.com/run/races.htm

Now just need to do the rest of the country!
