New Year's Day Fell Race 2021

The 2021 Manx Fell running season starts with a bang on New Year`s Day when the classic David Cretney sponsored St John`s Fell Race takes place. This short lung buster covers an out and back 5km route to the summit of Slieau Whallian including a cold and wet double trip through the water splash at Mullen- Y -Cloie! Start time is 13.30 with registration from 12.15 until 13.00 at the St John`s FC club House. We expect a big entry. To relieve the pressure on race day there will be an opportunity to collect race numbers on Wednesday 30th December at the Manor Hotel in Willaston from 17.00 until 19.00. Pre entry is now closed as the limit of 300 has been reached. Once you have pre entered all you need to do is register at either session and collect your race number. There may be limited entry on the day. Entry fee is £5 for seniors, £1 for juniors. Minimum age is 12 on the day. All fees will be donated to HBOT, the Hyperbaric Chamber.

The race will start and finish in the Peel and St John`s cricket club field which is adjacent to the football ground. All runners are invited to wear fancy dress but please keep this within reason. Although the race is not a counter in the Callin Wild Manx Fell League it is registered with the UK Fell Runners Association and therefore comes under their rules of competition. If anyone turns up in fancy dress that is over the top they may be stopped from racing. All competitors are strongly advised to carry a water proof jacket especially if the weather conditions are poor.

There will be soup, tea and coffee available in the football club house post race.
