Junior Fell Running Championships (sponsored by Erin Bike Hut)
/We are pleased to announce that the 2020 Championships will be hosted by Knockaloe Beg Farm, Kirk Patrick, offering a stunning backdrop and a series of challenging, age appropriate routes. Entry is for children from school years 2 to 7 and must be completed via their school. (If school entry isn’t possible, print off one of the INDIVIDUAL FORMS and bring it on the day). Entries on the day will be accepted but the more that pre-enter via their schools the quicker we can get everyone registered and running.
ALL competitors will need to register on the day between 12.00 and 1.00pm.
There is a strict one way system in force on the narrow lane to the farm, and nobody will be able to leave until registration closes. Anyone arriving after this time will have to park on the road and walk to the farm. Please car share to avoid congestion. Toilets are available on site.
Racing starts at 1:15 in order of school years. In the event of severe weather, an announcement will be made on the MFR Facebook page, website and local radio.
Race distances vary according to school year but will be no more than those shown below. Maps detailing the routes are linked below (routes cover private land with livestock and should not be visited until race day). Note that the courses are fully flagged and marshalled. Years 2-5 will race over increasingly longer courses in the fields adjacent to the registration and car parking area, years 6 & 7 will climb to Corrin’s Folly.
