HAYFIELD CHAMPIONSHIP 2013

The Hayfield Championship is based around fell races held near Hayfield. There are no specific compulsory races but you must complete at least four of the nine races and complete at least one race in each length category (short, medium and long). New for 2013: The May Queen and Lantern Pike Dash races are added as counters and the entry fee goes up by a pound (but still great value!). Lamb's Longer Leg - Sun, 13th Jan (Short) Kinder Trial - Sat, 26th Jan (Long) Kinder Downfall - Sun, 14th Apr (Medium) May Queen - Fri, 10th May (Short) Mount Famine - Sat, 11th May (Short) Lantern Pike Dash - Sun, 12th May (Short) Kinder Trog - Sun, 23rd Jun (Long) Cracken Edge - Wed, 7th Aug (Medium) Lantern Pike - Sat, 21st Sep (Short) Entry to the championship costs £6 and you can enter at any race up to and including Cracken Edge. All successful finishers receive a championship T-shirt. Championship scoring is based on the position in each race where the first championship runner scores one point, the second scores two, etc. The winner is the runner with the lowest number of points in their four best races which includes at least one of each length. Prizegiving is at the Lantern Pike race. This year there will also be a Grand Slam award, presented at the Famous Grouse race (on Sun, 24 Nov) to anyone who completes all ten local races. All you need to know about entering is on the entry form or for more information contact Andy Howie (see Kinder Trial details below).

FRA - the Fell Runners Association is the governing body for fell running in England. Individual membership costs £12 per year and amongst the many good reasons for joining are the Fellrunner magazine which is sent to members three times per year and the annual fixture list which provides details of around 500 fell races throughout the UK. Here is a downloadable copy (PDF format) of the standard FRA entry form. LDWA - the Long Distance Walking Association organises walks of various distances up to 100 miles. Many of these walks allow runners to take part and they make excellent training runs, quite often with tea and biscuits en route. Bullock Smithy Hike - if you find yourself at the finish of the Kinder Trog thinking "that wasn't too bad - maybe I'll run round a couple more times" then it may be that the Bullock Smithy is your sort of race (and it has an excellent results site!) Kinder Mountain Rescue - there's a good chance that these chaps will come to your assistance should you find yourself in difficulty while running on the hills around Hayfield.
