Ian Hodgson, FRA, and Northern Road Relays

Could all club members please note the dates of the Ian Hodgson, FRA, and Northern Road Relays which are fast approaching.

This year the club has again entered Men's, Women's and V40 teams for both the Ian Hodgson and UKA Fell + Hill Relay Championships, and subject to interest may well send teams to the Northern Athletics Men's Six Stage Road Relays, and Women's Four Stage Road Relays.

The Ian Hodgson Mountain Relay is on Sunday 2nd October this year and there is a measure of expectation that Keswick AC will this year improve on their excellent placings in the 2010 relay where the men's team placed 4th, in addition to the 2nd placed women's team, and 4th veteran team.

The UKA Fell + Hill Relay Championships are hosted by Bingley Harriers this year and will be based at Kettlewell in the Yorkshire Dales on Saturday 15th October. Last year the club again entered strong teams to this event which was held on the Lomond Hills in Scotland, the women taking bronze medals, while the men placed 13th and the vet team placed 22nd.

The Northern Athletics Men's Six Stage Road Relays will be held at Birchwood Park in Warrington on Saturday 24th September. The Six Stage is a relay of six individual legs of approximately 6km. There is also a Women's Four Stage Relay over 4 stages of approximately 4.9km.
