Mercia Fell Runners Club

We invented this race in 2017 to be fun with lots of route choice, a start and finish where people can go in opposite directions! and hopefully to become a classic as there is no other local FRA “AL” (steep and long) race. The views and fast open field & forestry descents definitely give it the wow factor! However we were a little upset not to have been supported by a lot of the local running community in only having 38 runners.
