These races can be split into 2 categories
-
(i) 8 races of approx. 6 mile – Belmont Winter Hill, 2 Lads, Tockholes, Bull Hill, Harrock Hill, Shepherds Skyline, Dave Staff & Mytholmroyd.
These shorter races could be viewed as good entry races into the sport of fell running and could be attempted by almost any club runner – even a Roadie.
Belmont Winter Hill is a short race but with plenty of climb! there is a small village fair with stalls and Morris Dancers!. Sally did this last year – her 1st fell race – and won a prize!!!
-
The 2 Lads race is run from the Bridge in Horwich on a Thursday night and so doesn’t get more local than that, wots more it is always a nice night.
-
Bull Hill is a good local night race run from the Waggon & Horses at Hawkshaw and usually in very good weather and there are chip butties in the pub after.
-
Harrock Hill is essentially a trail race and ANYONE could give this a go. It is run from the Farmers Arms near Parbold.
-
Shepherds Skyline is a muddy affair but Gill Caldwell ran this last year in all the mud and it didn’t put her off.
-
Dave Staff again is a local race that is well attended on wot is normally a cold December morning. Gill Caldwell ran this last year and enjoyed it despite the cold.
-
(ii) 3 longer races of between 9 – 12 miles, Winter Hill, Heptonstall and Grin & Bear It. These races are not for the novice runner and previous experience of fell running can be required as an entry requirement.
Fell Race Championship

Points are awarded for each race according to your finishing position relative to other Lostock runners inyour age category.

Fell Running
In general fell running is about running in open country and usually involves running up a hill.
Fell races are informal affairs where you very often turn up on the day of the race usually the registration is in a pub, pay typically £3 to £4, and then run the race. After the race the results are announced again usually in a pub.
The 10 Fell races selected for inclusion in the 2010 fell calendar are:
These races can be split into 2 categories
(i) 7 races of approx. 6 mile – Wardle Skyline, Belmont Winter Hill, Pilgrims Cross, 2 Lads, Bull Hill, Shepherds Skyline & Dave Staff.
