Race cancelled
Message from Ricky Parrish……
In light of recent flood devastation in the Calder Valley and the potential for further issues with Storm Dennis, we’ve made the difficult decision to call off Flower Scar fell race on Saturday 15 February (both junior and senior races). With amber warnings for rain and strong winds we cannot justify the risk to competitors and marshals. Please accept my sincerest apologies for any disappointment.
Hopefully we can find a gap in the fixture list to move it elsewhere in the year but this may not be a possibility.
This is a gem of a race with steep climbs, rough moor and fast paths, typifying all that’s best about South Pennine fell running. Starting close to Todmorden town centre, this race will take you to the parts of Tod that other races don’t reach.
