Senior Ian Hodgson and FRA relays information/update - please see forum

Kentmere Horseshoe

An amazing day with hot humid conditions and heavy rain showers. So many good performances from the 30+ Helm runners who made the startline. Tom won again with Mark (5th) Adam (21st) and Lee (41st) making the mens' team counters, and Sharon Lauren and Ali for the ladies.  RESULTS

Next junior championship race is Ambleside sports (BOFRA) on Thurs 31 July. Juniors can meet Lorna Askew by the Helm Hill flag at 12.45pm for a group warm up in advance of the U12s race.

12/13 July As is often the case, a choice of races this weekend. Josh Roelants headed to Alva games for a fast run up and down a very steep hill.          Others headed to Kettlewell for a tough run on a multi-terrain course - the last of the FRA junior championship races this year. Fantastic runs, including a recovery by Mia Senior from a fall part-way round, secured the title of English Junior FRA champions 2014 for Helm Hill. 

WELL DONE to all juniors who have raced in the FRA championship series this year and gained points for Helm.

Langdale gala, Sun 6 July
