Police Sport UK Athletics Section - British Police Fell Race Championships 2018

Peak Distict - Wednesday 9 May 2018 - 1pm

Hosted by Cheshire Constabulary Athletics Club

Race located in the Goyt Valley on the Cheshire/Derbyshire border

Report and Results

Well done to everyone who took part! I am sure everyone will agree it was a great day, a great course that was challenging and offered some magnificent Derbyshire and Cheshire scenery.

Thank you to Malcolm Fowler and Claire Stanistreet and their team for organising a great 2018 venue.

We had 70 runners on the day with 19 Police Forces represented. There were 95 overall entries registered. Commiserations to Durham and Essex teams who were unable to attend on the day due to work commitments.

Derbyshire, on their home turf, took the 1st places in both men's and women's events with Ian Phillips winning the race in 01.04.28 and Christine Howard winning the ladies race in 01.30.52. However, hosts Cheshire were th first men and ladies teams.

Thank you to everyone who supported this event. It has achieved one of the highest numbers for some years which is very encouraging given the limitations on time off work.

The 2019 event will be hosted in North Wales - date and venue to be decided.

I will look forward to seeing you at the next event!!

Steve Broadbent - British Police Fell Race Co-ordinator

First four men to finish, Ian Phillips (Left – Derbyshire), 2^nd Andrew Dobby (171 – North Yorkshire), 3rd Rob Grantham (113 - Cheshire) and 4th Colin Wood (187 - Thames Valley)

British Police Fell Race 2018

Description

Due to the bird nesting season we have agreed the route will stick to designated rights of way. Hence the route description looks complicated. But this is to keep you on the path rather than trying to find a shortcut across the grouse moor!

There will be marshals at the road crossings. But they won’t be expected to stop traffic. The roads are quiet midweek. But take care crossing the road.

It is all on obvious footpaths so relatively easy to navigate but some tape and flags will be used at any path junctions where it might help.

Malcolm Fowler is organising the race route - Please feel free to contact him with any questions:malcolm.a.fowler@btinternet.com
