2025 Rainow 5
2025-05-07 19:30 - 21:00 (Europe/London) | Rainow Institute, Stocks Lane, Rainow, Cheshire, SK10 5XR, United Kingdom
The annual Rainow 5 is back for 2025. Wednesday 7th May 2025.
Background about the event can be found here… Rainow 5
Please collect your race number from registration in the Rainow Village Institute (opposite Robin Hood pub) from 6pm onwards. Bags can be left here (no valuables to be left). Bring your own safety pins please. All runners must display their race number. The race starts at 7:30pm very close to the Institute building.
The race is run under FRA regulations – as such be prepared to have FRA kit – a recommended minimum for this race is a waterproof top. The race route map and GPX file is available on the race website here (Rainow 5)
It is your responsibility to know the route (its on footpaths) – there will be marshals on each junction. Note the race is 5 miles (not 5K!). After collecting your number, if you do not start or do not complete the race it is essential you let a marshal or the race registration team know. There will be a “sweeper” at the back of the runners. The route does include kissing gates – if you are fast make sure you start at the front – otherwise be prepared to make the most of a breather at the gates if necessary!
After the race tea/coffees and cakes will be available to buy – please bring exact cash £2-£3 depending on your thirst and hunger and if possible bring your own mug to be filled(refreshment profits all fund-raising for Rainow Pre-School).
Low-key prize giving will take place at 8:45pm in the institute, along with presentation of donations from your entry fees to local charities TBD.
I look forward to seeing you all & enjoy the race.

2024 - Andrew Heywood Memorial - Windgather Fell Race
2024-10-13 11:00 - 17:00 UTC | Burbage Institute, Bishops Lane, Buxton, Derbyshire, SK17 6UL, United Kingdom
Hi fellrunners of the midlands and north (and apologies if that’s not you…), just a quick reminder for the Windgather race, Sunday 13th October, 11am, start from Burbage near Buxton.
I’ve tried to avoid clashes with too many other events (including the FRA relays which are the week after.)
It’s 13.5 miles ‘not completely flat but not too challenging, suitable for most’, (we checked the course last week: it’s still there, just as enjoyable as ever…)
All for charity, post race food and drink, and the weather is always good, so what’s not to like…
We’d really appreciate your support (plus anyone from your club and friends you might want to rope in!)

2024 Peris Horseshoe - High Fell Series
2024-09-21 10:30 - 15:00 (Europe/London) | Padarn Lake Hotel, High St, LLanberis, LL55 4SU
British champs so will sell out! Half course option will also count. Entries via tbc
One of the classic Welsh Fell Races. Saturday 21st Sept 2023
Registration/HQ will be at Padarn Lake Hotel, Llanberis
Starts: 10.30am Half Peris & ‘Early’ Full Peris, 11am Full Peris.
Full Peris 28km 2600m ascent Summit 9 peaks Elidir Fawr (924 m) • Y Garn (947 m) • Glyder Fawr (1,001 m) • Lliwedd Bach (818 m) • Y Lliwedd (898 m) • Snowdon – Yr Wyddfa (1,085 m) • Bwlch Glâs (998 m) • Clogwyn Llechwedd-Llo (600 m) • Moel Cynghorion (674 m)
Half Peris 13km 1375m 3 peaks Elidir Fawr (924 m) • Y Garn (947 m) • Glyder Fawr (1,001 m) Finish at Pen y Pas and catch the bus back to llanberis.
Both Full and Half Peris are a brilliant challenge with incredible views of Eryri through out. These are serious fell races, taking in steep and rocky terrain, as well as providing a fantastic challenge they do require some serious preparation (following a road 10km training programme probably wont cut it!) Marshals will be on the summits, navigation required between check points. Following other runners is fine in clear weather but if it’s cloudy and visibility is poor the use of compass and map is required, so brush up on your navigation skills as well as your mountain fitness before race day!
