Wolf’s Pit fell race is an AS category fell race of 9.2 Km / 5.71 miles and 467m / 1532 feet ascent. The course has steep, grassy ascents and descents, rough grass with heather moorland and rocky tracks. Studded fell shoes are advisable.
The race is to be run under FRA rules and there is a mandatory full kit requirement THAT MUST be carried throughout the race. This will consist of full body cover (it is advisable that these are waterproof lightweight top and trousers), hat and gloves, whistle, silva type compass and map suitable to navigate the course. The kit requirement is not for the severity of the terrain but the time of year when extreme weather conditions may develop rapidly with little warning. Alongside random kit checks by the race organiser, Nottinghamshire Championship runners will also be randomly kit checked before the race start and on finishing. Failure to comply with kit requirements will result in disqualification from the race and championships.
Runners should wear clothing suitable for the conditions. It is not essential, but it is hoped that club vests will be worn.
