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.

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.

Results for the 2018 running of Terry's Tinsel Terror are available here.

Results for the 2018 running of the Mortimer Forest Trial Race are available here.

Results of the 2018/19 winter series after 3 rounds are available here.

Entries are now open for the Longmynd Valleys Race - the classic Shropshire Fell Race. It’s a race of two parts with much fast running in the first seven miles gradually transforming into longer, steeper climbs and brutal descents. You'll need previous experience of fell running in poor conditions, and if the clouds are down you may need to be able to navigate effectively in low or zero visibility.
