2024 Eccles Pike - Summer Event Series
2024-08-14 19:30 - 21:00 (Europe/London) | Bugsworth War Memorial Club, 1 Station Road, Buxworth, SK23 7NJ
This is one of the oldest fell races in the country with a history going back over 100 years. It is renowned for being short, tough and demanding.
Distance of 3.4 miles with 1001 feet of climb.
This year we will be using the Bugsworth War Memorial Club as Race HQ, this is just around the corner from the canal basin and the old venue and is much closer to the start of the race. Please be aware that if you park at the Navigation Inn you may be charged a fee unless you go in and spend money at the bar. There is a large car park available at Tesco only 1km away on the canal. Other parking will be available on the day, please read the race brief email that will be sent out a few days before the race for details.
Numbers will be picked up on the day.
Start time 7.30pm, this race often sells out which makes it unlikely there will be entries on the day.

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!

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!)
