Mercia Fell Runners Club

The 2017/2018 Winter Series final results are available here (scroll to the botttom to get to the PDF version).

THE PRIZE DRAW – held at the Club’s Awards Evening (Sat 24th March)

Many, many thanks to everyone who put their hands in their pockets for a chance to win Stud Marks on the Summits. Gail Jones kindly drew the winning ticket (no. 209) which was purchased by Craig Henn. Congratulations to Craig who has tried (at potentially great expense) on several occasions to bid for a copy on ebay.

Ticket sales raised £373 which is a superb effort and compares very favourably with the price of a copy currently on sale (£325) in a second-hand bookshop.

Latest standings in the 2018 Mercia Championship are available here.

Results for the Cardingmill Canter (final round in the 2017/18 winter series) are available here.

Standings so far are available here. One more round to go, the re-scheduled Canter this Saturday.

POSTPONEMENT OF CARDING MILL CANTER

I have regrettably reached the decision to postpone the Carding Mill Canter.
I have wrestled at length over this but have taken the decision on the basis of advice I’ve received, and on a number of factors which I’ll summarise below;
