Fell Rules;
Big Print
If a race is also in another league each league will apply it's own rules meaning you may qualify in 1 league but not the other for the same race.
. Each LERC runner is awarded points for completing a league race, 150 for the first placed Long Eaton runner, 149 for the second, etc
. Points are awarded for the ladies section and mens section separately
. Club colours are desirable but not compulsory in order for points to be awarded
. The best 8 performances are considered in compiling the final totals
. There is a minimum of 8 races to qualify for any prize.
. Tied positions decided by WAVA table > fewest races > countbacks > head to head total times > size of bribe to league organiser
Prizes;
Prizes are awarded to the first 3 positions in the following closed categories. SM,M40,M50,SF,F40,F50.
Very Big Print
· Fell Running is a very environmentally conscious pastime and car sharing is heavily encouraged.
· Competitors should arrive at races prepared to carry any or all of the following equipment:-
. Windproof whole body cover
. Other body cover appropriate for the weather conditions
. Map and compass suitable for navigating the course
. Whistle
. Emergency food
These requirements constitute ‘best practice’ and are mandatory at all Category A Long and Medium races. In the event of settled fine weather, confirmed by a local weather report, the organiser may decide to waive some of the above requirements for races of other categories.
Organisers ensure that whatever requirements they specify on the day are met by holding complete and random checks before and after the start of races.
Race organisers should be aware of the dangers of hypothermia if injury to runners causes them to stop or slow to a walking pace. Body heat is lost quickly and in cold, wet or windy weather the onset of hypothermia can be very rapid unless sufficient warm clothing is carried. This factor should influence decisions on the extra equipment runners are required to carry in poor or unsettled weather conditions. If necessary the fact that the weather creates a high risk of hypothermia should be stressed to competitors.
