The SHORTest
What a day for Ellenborough AC. “The Shortest” which was simply continuous reps of Newlands pass for the duration of the Winter Solstice. Congratulations to Calum Tinnion (AKA the most handsome man in fell running) for taking the win with an impressive 17 run reps. Also to Shaun Atkinson for taking the “Soft Cunt” award with 16 bike reps and 1 run rep. To quote Shaun “This is great this, you knock your pan in all day in dreadful weather to get an award for being a Soft Cunt, smart”. Regrettably there was no “Spirit of the day” award, but Chris Listers award for biggest hero of the day had to be Peter Kemp, who done 8 run reps and […]

The Annual Elbra Xmas Run (2022). Given the recent weather, and last years washout, we decided to be sensible and avoid the higher tops.

Hello All, I regret to inform you that the rescheduled Coledale Horseshoe race (24th October) will not take place in 2020 due to continued uncertainty with the COVID-19 pandemic. It had been hoped to be able to make the race run in one form or another but the restrictions imposed on organisers make it impossible to make the race 100% safe for competitors, marshals & the general public. Those who had entered are all entitled to a refund, minus the admin/bank transfer fee, which will be repaid into the payees account over the next few weeks. Sorry to be the bearer of more bad news as the fell race scene gets ever diminished. But hopefully we can get back racing […]
