Mercia Fell Runners Club

Note the start time for this is 6.30pm not 7.30 as previously (wrongly) stated in the race information page.

Daniel Brazier has just informed me that, as a team Mercia finished 4th at the Three Peaks race Saturday, Andy 
Davies, Will Neall, Dan Brazier, Ian Gridley. Well done guys.

The Fellsman was going on at the same time and the routes overlapped (in time) on Whernside - must have got pretty chaotic at Hill Inn!

At last! Ten years since the first running of this race, the route’s ‘Slithery Hill’ finally came in to its own. As the race is traditionally held on the first Wednesday evening in May, the short steepish clay slope through the woodland at Bannister’s Coppice tends to have already become baked solid for the summer. This leaves puzzled runners enquiring ‘what slithery hill?’

Results from last night's (dry!) race are now available for viewing  here.
