Upcoming races

Saturday 25^th February – Wart’s Revenge. Featuring tussocks, water, runnable bits, heather, bogs, wet peat and a pole. What’s not to like?

Sunday 26^th February – Hoppits Hill.

Sunday 5^th March – Cloud Nine, near Congleton.

Sunday 5^th March – Horsehill Tor. Another of the better DPFR races which you need on your cv.

Sunday 12^th March – Boz’s Birthday run. A brand new DPFR race from Blackden. It looks excellent and the best racing lines will take a bit of working out.

Saturday 18^th March – Edale Circle. Yet another fine DPFR race.

Sunday 19^th March – Wolf’s Pit. Pre-entry via Fabian4.

Saturday 25^th March – Mourne Marauder, the Northern Ireland counter in the British Championships.

Saturday 25^th March – Chicken Run, Hayfield. Eod but pre-entry is cheaper.

Sunday 26^th March – Edale Skyline. It’s now full so all new entries will be placed on a waiting list. However, non-runners are always needed for marshalling and other duties. Feel free to offer your services to the race organiser: skyline@dpfr.org.uk
