Ravenstones Brow Fell Race

Saturday May 3rd. 2pm

ROUTE CHANGE: Due to unforeseen circumstances the route will not proceed across open moorland this year . It will remain a very scenic and challenging route (now 8miles and 1200ft) which will follow the edges above Dovestones Reservoir. The route will be partially flagged and marshalled. Full body cover, map, compass and whistle will still be expected to be carried. Entries on the day. All other details remain the same.

National Teams

It is the policy of the Association to send teams to international events, in order that athletes develop and gain experience of traveling and competing against good quality athletes from other Countries.

England teams are selected for the senior age group and the IAAF Under 20/Junior age groups for both men and women. No athlete who is under the age of 16 on the day of departure for International Competition outside of the UK will be selected and if under 18 will be required to complete a parental consent form.

Unfortunately the 2008 FRA Hand Book was published prior to the finalisation of selection criteria & hence is inaccurate.
