St Johns Fell Race 2019

The 2019 St John`s Fell Race will be held on its traditional New Year`s Day date. The race will be sponsored by Moochers on Facebook, which continues David Cretney`s support of the race, stretching back many years.

Note the slightly later start time of 2.00pm (to allow dippers more time to warm up!) with registration at St John`s FC club house from 12.00pm. The start and finish will be in the St John`s Cricket field which is next to the football ground. Please note that it will be a counter in the 2019 Junior Fell League but not the Senior League.

Congratulations to all those who competed in the Aston International Winter Hill League which concluded with the final round on Saturday at Eairy Beg. The total number of runners across the 3 rounds was just shy of 200, including an outright WHL record of 131 in the opening round at Slieau Whallian.

It was great to see many new faces across the series and some notable improvements from many, particularly amongst the junior contingent, who more than held their own against their senior counterparts. Thanks to all involved and our generous sponsors, Aston International.

The final league table, along with results from all the previous rounds, can be viewed via the RESULTS PAGE.
