Fell runners? navigation? who will I have to follow?!

The next event in the MFR calendar is the inaugural Manx Wilderness Challenge which takes place on Saturday 31st August in a yet to be disclosed area at 1pm. Registration from 12 noon until 12:45pm at Sulby Reservoir car park.

This is a team event with runners competing in pairs, of which at least one member should have basic navigational skills. To qualify for league points, your team must score 50% of the winning total. Pairs must be aged 18 or above, or if running with a parent/guardian over 21 then a minimum age of 14 applies.
