Junior Fell outing Potter tarn, Brunt Knott, Sat 16 Dec  Another great morning out for Helm Hill Juniors and parents.  

Santa Dash 3 Dec - Helm Hill Juniors supported Rosemere Cancer Foundation, and took first (Ella Martindale), second (Joel Saunders) and third (Finley Grisedale) places into the bargain. 

Helm Hill Awards evening on 24 Nov was the time when final standings in the club Junior Championship were announced and trophies awarded (see Races page on this website - Results panel). Whippet awards were given to six of our Juniors for their tenacious approach to training, and a new trophy this year went to Erin Bagge - the prestigious Ken Shuttleworth trophy which commemorates Founder member Ken's huge interest and support for young runners. Erin received the trophy for her consistent endeavour. 

Arnside Knott race, 19 Nov - a good number of Juniors took part in this lovely, wooded race which has some great ascents and descents, and quite long courses for Juniors. As the last race of the 2017 club Junior Championship, it was an important event. 

Cross country, and open fell trip The Cumbria cross country series is well underway; the third race was on Saturday 28 Oct, Hunter Hall school (Penrith) - results will soon be on the Cumbria Athletics facebook page, where results from the Cockermouth and Carlisle races are posted already. Then, on Sunday 29 Oct, the club junior fell trip went from White Moss to Silver How summit via a steep gully climb, looped along the tops (part of the Elterwater Winter League race route) to Dow Crag and back to White Moss. Juniors were sure-footed and gutsy on the rocks, bogs, ups and downs. It was a perfect day.
