If you have a fell race named after you its only right you go and do it! Beetham sports is one of the oldest Cumbrian sports events on the calendar, a great day out for al the family with races for anyone from 2 yrs old! The fell race is a fast 5.75 mile circuit taking in Beetham fell and 1000 ft of climbing. Good running on well marked trails through woodland, limestone terraces and open fell, something for everyone and a good workout!. This year saw a record entry of 104 runners with some local clubs turning out in force (Helm hill , Howgill Harriers and local club - Lonsdale fell runners). Trudy and I were the only Representatives from KAC and both had good runs improving on our previous results in this race 3 years ago. It was a very hot sunny day and dry underfoot, the majority of the race is through woodland so the shade was appreciated. I would recommend this day out for anyone with kids, we had family come up from Preston and made it a real 'Beetham' family day out
