Start at the Albert, PSM, anytime between 2pm & 3pm a festive run around the coast path meeting up at the Bay, Port Erin about 4pm. Headtorch, waterproof/warm gear, and fell shoes recommended.
With the New Year and 2016 Manx Fell running league fast approaching runners and potential runners are reminded of the need to abide by the FRA's safety guidelines.
While we do all we can as organisers to keep you safe and put on challenging events, runners must take responsibility for themselves and their actions, to do this please make yourselves familiar with the attached document.
Id also suggest joining the FRA and reading their quarterly magazine which newcomers especially can learn from.
http://www.fellrunner.org.uk/…/FRA%20Requirements%20for%20R…
Organised recces of the more challenging courses will be organised in due course, but there is no substitute for time on your feet in the hills to gain experience and to be comfortable with the potentially ever changing environment.
Full FRA approved safety kit must be carried at all times during all races unless otherwise instructed by the Race Organiser, for this reason always bring full kit to signing on at every race.
It is good practice to carry this kit at all times whether out in the hills alone or in organised recces.
NO KIT, NO RACE.
Sunday 26th December
Informal Castle to Castle Relay followed by beers in Castletown...
For individuals or pairs of runners. Start from Fenella Beach car park whenever you want but aim to finish at the Glue Pot in Castletown at 12:30pm. You can run the whole thing (leg 1 and leg 2) individually or pair up and do leg 1 and then changeover runners for leg 2 at the Round Table... or just run leg 2!
Route - following the Bayr Ny Skeddan (Herring Way) with 2 exceptions:
1) From Peel Castle ascend Peel Hill and take coastal footpath towards Glen Maye
2) Ascend pipeline track to Round Table rather than continuing towards Eairy Cushlin
Leg 1 - approx 6 miles, mostly uphill
Leg 2 - approx 7 miles, mostly downhill (some road sections so wear hi-viz)
n.b. this is not a formally organised race and you take part at your own risk... no-one will come looking for you if you get lost!

Results from Saturday's race can be found on the results page here. Final league table will be posted separately....

Race starts at 1.30pm. The presentation of awards will be at the Highwayman in Peel at around 3.15pm where refreshments (chip baps) will be provided. It looks like another wet week leading up to race day so expect lots of mud!
Remember that league positions are calculated from cumulative time so no easing off! It's looking very tight for some positions - interim league table.

Fantastic start to this years Aston International sponsored Winter Hill Running League. A record entry of 127 squeezed their way around the challenging but enjoyable course at Cringle. Some great performances throughout the field especially the newcomers and the juniors were outstanding. I don`t have the official results as yet but looks like a new course record for Jackie. Great atmosphere at the finish with everyone receiving acknowledgement for thier efforts.A special well done to Helen and Nigel for such a brave and positive performance. Many thanks to Eric and all those who made sure the junior lad was ok. Thanks also to sponsor Aston International and to DEFA for access. Finally thanks to everyone who helped on the day and those who set the course up and cleared up afterwards.Next stop Eary Beg. (Richie Stevenson)
I've put together a provisional league finishers table which you can view here. You may need to zoom in as it was a struggle to fit all the columns onto one page!
Remember that to qualify for the league (and hoody!) you must have completed at least 6 league races of which one must have been an AL category race and have marshalled, or provided a marshall for one race also.

The Aston International sponsored Winter Hill League gets underway on Saturday 24th October at the Cringle Plantation. The 4km course is held over well worn tracks and will be fully marked. It is an ideal course for any newcomers to try hill running in a controlled environment. Winning time is expected to be around 16 minutes.
The start and finish will be near the main entrance to the Cringle Plantation on the B39 Solomons Corner to Corlea road. Easy way to get there is to go up the main road at Foxdale and take the second turning on the right at Solomons Corner. Follow this road until you will see the Cringle Reservoir on your right. The start and finish is just past the reservoir on the right. If coming from the south turn off the A27 Colby Glen Road onto the B39 just past Ronague Chapel.
Registration will be at the main entrance gate to the plantation from 12.15pm until 1.15pm. The race will incorporate the first leg of the 2015 Junior Hill Runing Championships for school years 8 and upwards. Minimum age is 12 years on race day.
Parking is limited so car sharing is strongly advised. There is limited parking available at the reservoir, at a small park to the south of the start area and at the side of the road in places. Please park carefully.
