Mercia Fell Runners Club

A success! A “long” English Championship race on Shropshire soil at last. I hope all involved enjoyed it. And runners didn’t find it too arduous crossing Callow - and all the other “ups” around the forest.
Again many thanks to all the helpers. This was over 40 in all. Essentially the Marshals. I was thinking of listing you all but that is perhaps not GDPR friendly!

Here are the races for 2020 (AS/BM/CL et al is the category, (A) is away, (H) is home, PE is Pre-Entry only):

New this year a Mercia Ultra Championship! If you don't know what an 'Ultra' is, go here.

The attached map identifies important areas on the Mynd for nesting birds. Please try avoid these areas when training on the Mynd, especially during the nesting season of mid-March to mid-July. The wet areas should be avoided at all times. The wet areas are used by Snipe and Curlew, valley sides by Winchat and Wheatear plus Merlin, the top plateau by Grouse.
