2013 League Marshals

/

Don't forget every runner who wishes to complete the Rentokil Manx Fell League must marshal at one race.

Please check the chart here and put your name down for the race that suits you. It is on a first come first served basis so if you miss out on your preferred race you will have to chose another.  For the last couple of years a number of runners  have failed to select their race until the season was nearly over. This caused the organisers problems trying to fit everyone in. This year there will be a deadline of 1st April to put your name forward.

Any runner who fails to meet this deadline will not count for the league.  

Please remember you can arrange for somebody to marshal your slot but the organisers must be informed well before the scheduled race date.

A Note from Margy Creer

Could I please say a huge 'Thank You' via the website to the people who helped me get down from near Colden on Sunday 13th January having badly sprained my ankle. They are - Stephen Caley, Brent Thomas, Paul Thomas, Paul Killey, Les Brown (plus my sister Ali Corlett) without whom I may well still be up there!!

I really appreciate what you all did in those freezing conditions!

New MFR Website

/

Welcome to the new MFR website.  The original website was created in 2004 so was well due for an update, although the new version is quite a bit different in appearance hopefully all the relevant race information is now more accessible and up to date.  The development of facebook, twitter and the MFR groups on there have moved the focus of the new site away from a news blog and to have cleaner static information that is easier to find, although you can still follow the latest MFR developments here on the news feed.

There are still a few tweaks to be made and a final bit of information to add but hopefully the site should be operating at 100% in the next couple of days.

If you have any feedback or improvements that you think could be implemented please post here...

Record Start to 2013

/

A new record number of 176 competitors tackled the St Johns fell race yesterday, an increase of about 30 to the previous best.  There were some great fancy dress outfits out there with a few making the muddy 3.0 mile course a lot more challenging!

Lloyd Taggart took the win from Andy Cannell and Simon Skillicorn with Jackie Lee taking the ladies win from Rebecca Wallace and Rosy Craine.  Full results are available below.

Great racing yesterday at the third and final round of the Isle of Man Bank sponsored winter hill league held at Slieu Whallion plantation. 

Another good win by Simon Skillicorn from Ben Corkill and Tom Cringle. Rebecca Wallace took the ladies win from Rosy Craine and Judith Quane.

Results are now available here with league results to follow,  there was a slight issue with some people going the wrong way and then re completing the missed section, on the review of the results we have to decided to add a 5 minute penalty to the original finish time for anyone that got lost, please review the results and report any errors.
