This Wednesday (16.7.25) evening its:

C**k Howe and Beyond Fell Race.

Chop Gate Village Hall 7:15 pm.

The Knavesmire Fell runners are organising this race , one of the NY Moors Summer series.

We have a full compliment of volunteers so if any YKH members wish to run you are very welcome to do so.

If you have not done a fell race this could be a good one to get started. It's 5.75 miles, most of the climbing is in the first mile and a quarter, then a loop of the moor insight of Billsdale mast, before returning on that initial 1.25 miles that has now become a glorious downhill.
There is nothing too technical on the route, mainly easy paths, a mile of trod through heather and mostly wide bridleways on the moor top.

The added bonus for any aspirant Knavesmire fell runners is you will be in the supportive company of the Knavesmire fell crew, cheering you on from the checkpoints and other supportive roles.

Its only £7( £5 if on fra), enter on the day, weather looking good .
You will need mandatory kit :Waterproof jacket, hat, gloves, whistle ,compass and map.
Trail / fell shoes recomended.
Should you not have some of the kit ask to borrow some prior to race.
