A statement for those who are weighing up travelling and concerned about scoring FRA championship points...
I am the Race Organiser for the Edale Skyline race, this is my sole
responsibility and I'm doing everything I can to make it happen as
safely as possibly. I have made it clear (after liaising with Edale MRT
and others) that if the Edale valley Road is open then the event will be
on.
It has been clearly communicated (both today and previously) to me that
championship status should in no way interfere with my organisation of
the event. I have absolute confidence in the systems and people who will
be monitoring and marshaling the race.
Ultimately if the results are unrepresentative (for example 200 runners
from Sheffield as no one else can get over the Pennines) then the FRA
will have make a call on whether it can still be considered reasonable
for the Edale Skyline to be 'a counter in the English championships'
they could then identify another event later in the year.
So, if your local road conditions make travel risky or uncertain you should exercise personal responsibility and NOT TRAVEL.
If, based on the MWIS forecast you do not have absolute confidence in
your fitness, running ability and mountain craft you should exercise personal responsibility and NOT TRAVEL.
Hope that is helpful, cheers all...
If you fancy a TWEET... Edale Skyline
