In the event of bad weather, and to ensure the safety of competitors and marshals on the high and exposed terrain, the race organiser reserves the right to change the route format.
Start and Finish: The Start/Finish line is approx. a 10 Minute walk from the Main Race Registration and Car Park Areas.
Start times:
- U9 – 12.15
- U11 – approximately 12.30
- U13– approximately 13.00
- U15/U17 – approximately 13.30
No races will start earlier than the advertised time.
Car parking: Please be mindful of neighbours and residents when parking.
Kit: The FRA have a very strict kit requirement for all races. For the Junior Pike Race, which has marshalls every 200m up the climb, we feel that the junior athletes will not need to carry full kit. If it’s raining hard and the winds are strong then a kagool is a sensible addition to their kit.
Litter: We have special permission from United Utilities and the local landowners to run the race at this venue. PLEASE be responsible for all your own litter and kit.
Dogs: Although dogs are allowed around the race route they must be kept on leads at all times.
