Dear NFR members
NFR is 20 years old in 2017.
To mark this momentous milestone, the race organisers and club committee propose having a celebratory race weekend, based around the Chevy Chase (Saturday 1st July), followed by camping at Highburn House Country Camping and Caravan Park (or other more salubrious accommodation to suit your taste!).
Even if you don’t want to run this long race, it should prove to be a fun family event. Plans are also afoot for other events during the year.
On-line entries for the Chevy Chase open on 1st Feb via SiEntries, and the event tends to fill up fast.
Details to be found on this link and the FRA calendar:
This race will count in the NFR Championship. Full details of the other races will be announced at the Annual Dinner on Thursday 16th February.
Happy Running
Paul and Frank

Hillforts & Headaches Fell Race Sunday 1st January 2017. (partially amended results 04/01/17)
This was to be a testing day for all concerned. My job as race organiser is to provide as safe a race that can reasonably be achieved. There is always a risk of injury due to the nature of the sport which is why runners sign and agree to the conditions on the entry form.
Registration went well, there were one or two late entries but this can be expected. Myself and a fellow marshal had to leave 30mins before race start time to get to our position with stopwatch on top of Beacon Hill. As usual I had race route maps and notices of kit requirements spread about at registration so everyone should have seen these.
Although conditions were good in the centre of Rothbury, I knew things would be different on Beacon Hill. Continue reading
