Mercia Fell Runners Club

We're now pleased to be able to publish the draft map for the Stretton Hills 2 Championship Race. The race has a navigational element, similar to the Longmynd Valleys race, and a reccie will help... Some brief route notes are given below.

On the 25th anniversary of Mercia Fell Runners inception and as we approach the anniversary of the Long Mynd Valleys race, Nick Kingston, one of the clubs founders thought it fitting to devise a new fell running/walking challenge on the Long Mynd. Hence the Long Mynd Tops in tribute to our colleague Gill, who loved these hill.

It's been a while since there was any update on attempts and completions of the Gill Harris round. Philip Wilkinson and Lawrie Jones did a snowy night winter round on 20/12/17. John Taylor and Helen Stokes are also understood to have completed a round in 2017. Renewed interest this winter has seen a successful round from Nicola Richards, Dave Farrow, Mark Pearson and Jared Forte (BHSD) on Saturday 22nd December 2018 and an attempt in very thick mist from Mel Price and Virgil Barton (Barlick FR) the following day.
