O Captain! My Captain!<br />
FELL RUN CHAMPIONSHIP NEWS<br />
The first race of the 20<strong>15</strong> Fell Race<br />
championship takes place on Saturday<br />
24 th <strong>Jan</strong>uary and is Ashurst Beacon. The<br />
race starts at 12:30 and its category<br />
rating is BS. The distance is 9.5Km (5.9<br />
miles) with 951ft of climb. It is an easy<br />
introduction to the fell championship<br />
and well flagged on good tracks like<br />
those in Sunnyhurst Woods. The uphill<br />
finish to the beacon is a sting in the tail.<br />
Registration is from Prince William Inn,<br />
Dalton, nr Skelmersdale, WN8 7RU and<br />
there is no pre entry so you have to enter on the day at a cost of £4. And if that isn’t enticing<br />
enough, soup and bacon-butties will be on sale after the event.<br />
The next race in the 20<strong>15</strong> Fell Race championship is Bleasdale Circle on the 21st February.<br />
