UKA Fell + Hill Running Relay Championship 2011

On Saturday 15th October the 23rd UKA British Fell and Hill Relay Championship took place at Kettlewell in the Yorkshire Dales. Bingley Harriers were excellent hosts and put on a superb event, even organising some unseasonably warm and sunny weather.


Keswick AC entered three teams of six runners -open, O/40, and ladies- all of whom should be commended for putting in such effort as they did to represent the club well at this prestigious and competitive event.


The standard of racing at this event is testament to the prestige attached to a win here, and amongst the athletic clubs from England, Wales and Scotland that entered teams there were some very talented male and female athletes.

It was a pleasure to be involved, and I will look forward to being a part of next years event rumoured to be in the hills of Shropshire, hosted by Mercia Fell Runners.

Full results from Saturday including individual leg splits here, and a set of photographs here.
