The seventh running of the North East Counties Athletic Association (NECAA) Open Fell Running Championship series is to take place during 2010. As in previous years the series will incorporate the North East Hill Running Association (NEHRA) Fell Running Championships for veteran men and women.
This year the series will again consist of seven races of which a competitor’s best four results will count. The results will be calculated on the same basis as the British and English open championships, i.e. 1st 52 points, 2nd 49 points, 3rd 48 points and then 50th 1 point, in each category (see below).
This year, as has been the custom, races are selected from those that are published in the first edition of the FRA calendar. The races have been selected from Northumberland, Durham and North Yorkshire. This is to enable competitors to participate in at least three of the four races in an area within a reasonable travelling distance of their home. An attempt has been made to select races that also balance the competition in terms of length, ascent, winning times, and distribution throughout the year.
The first race in the series will be the K.G.S.M.R.(Kielder) Race on Sunday 07th February. The distribution of the races will hopefully give people sufficient lead in time to enable as many as possible to take part in the championships and complete at least four of the seven races.
The competition is open to all those over the age of eighteen who were born in or have been resident for more than one year within the boundaries of the old NECAA, that is, from Whitby, north to Berwick upon Tweed, (Northumberland, Durham, Tyne and Wear, Cleveland and part of the old North Riding of Yorkshire). Age categories and clubs will be those that are declared on the results sheets. It will be assumed that members of clubs from within the region are eligible unless they declare themselves ineligible. Unattached runners and runners from clubs outside the region will be assumed to be ineligible unless they declare otherwise.
Engraved medals will be awarded to qualifying competitors as shown below.
Competition categories are:
NECAA FR Championships
First three Senior Males and Females
NEHRA FR Championships
First three Vet O40 Male and Female
First three Vet O50 Male and Female
First three Vet O60 Male and Female
First three Vet O70 Male and Female
