Fell Running

The Club has a growing fell running section with club members taking part in fell races throughout Northern England, including the Calderdale Way Relay and British Fell & Hill Relay Championships. 

​

After a lull for a few years the Club is reinstituting a Fell Championship for 2024. Fell Captains Johnny & Sam have proposed a championship comprising 12 races; with 4 'short’, 4 'medium' and 4 'long' to choose from.

For each race a performance-based scoring system dependent on your finishing time relative to the first man & lady is used. Basically, the closer your time is to the winner’s time the more points you get. Scores for 'medium' & 'long' races will be multiplied by a factor of 1.1 and 1.2 respectively, as an inducement to take part in longer distances.

​

​

Each runner's best 3 scores count towards their overall championship score.

​

In addition to the overall men’s and ladies championship trophies, there are also vets (over 40) and supervets (over 50) categories for both men and women.
