Inter-club fell competition

This competition is new for 2012.

The aim is to have a league similar to the Sunday Cross Country League – simple to organise, just turn up and run, a team event rather than an individual event.

The three clubs initially taking part are:

  • Helsby RC
  • Spectrum Striders RC
  • Tattenhall Runners
