Calver Peak Fell Race 11

Additional information…

v.27.05.11

The race starts in the village of Calver and climbs quickly onto the range of limestone terrain around Calver Peak. Marshals will be posted around the course; however, runners are required to be familiar with the route illustrated below. There is one main road to cross; once as the race leaves the village and again as the race returns. The crossing will be marshaled, however runners are asked to exercise extreme caution. The route uses a variety of tracks and paths over a landscape containing active mine workings. Please do not cross walls or fences and runners are asked to be aware of warning signs relating to workings, plant or machinery. Runners will need to negotiate a number of gates on the route. Fell Running experience is recommended.

Registration will take place in the boule area of the Derwentwater Arms and the race has a limit of 200 runners.

Limited Toilet facilities are available in the Derwentwater Arms: by special permission (please do not walk mud etc. into the bar!)
