Loughrigg Fell Race 2009

Sponsored by KD Sports, Ambleside

 Wednesday April 8, 2009 - 7pm   4m/1000'

This popular evening race follows an out and back course from Ambleside to the summit of Loughrigg, a total distance of 4 miles with 1000 feet of climbing.

The race starts in Millans Park (behind the church) in Ambleside at 7pm on Wednesday April 8th _ GR 374044. Please park on the main car park in the village and walk to the start which is 5 minutes away. Entry on the night only.

The course follows the large track up to the final fell gate. It is then flagged to the summit where it returns by the same route. The records are 27.00 by Nick Sharp in 2007 and 32.00 by Natalie White in 2006. The cost is £3 and the minimum age is 15.

I am delighted to announce the continued support of KD Sports in Ambleside. They have very generously provided vouchers for the category winners and also various spot prizes to be given out at the prizegiving. We will aim to hold the prizegiving as close to 8 pm as possible. So why not check out the KD Sports shop next time you are in Ambleside? The shop is in the centre of town opposite the Rohan store.
