The 2010 Fell Championship
updated 10/12/10
 
Because of the cancellation of Tanky's, it has been decided to make only the best 5 results count rather than 6. In the event of a tie, a runner who completed 6 races is placed in front of a runner who did not.

The Championship Rules

 

The final points totals will be calculated from the best 6. Because there are far fewer fell races in the main championship this year, I've changed the midweek championship into a fell championship, with both weekend and midweek races. Because of the Edale Skyline filling up early this year, there are only three long races.

Any 6 races will count from the championship list. Points will be calculated as previous years with 30 points - 1st, 29 points - 2nd ...... (31-n) - nth place. Again we will be awarding prizes for 1-2-3 in the Main and Ladies championships.
