Update for 2021.<\/h2>\n
“After much thought and deliberation we have sadly made the decision to cancel this year’s Race Up The Beast on 2nd June, and the Druid Race on the 7th July”.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
“Whilst there are changes we could make to the format this year to make them COVID safe, our decision came down to the possible impact on the community and reputation of the club and races going forward”.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
“Our races start and finish in the heart of the two villages and we’re not confident the locals would thank us for attracting 30, 60 or 90 runners”.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
“We are looking towards the Dash in the Dark races which we hope will go ahead due to the venue being completely different, and depending on the situation, may alter our races for next summer”.<\/div>\n

October 2020<\/h2>\n

We don\u2019t need to explain that it\u2019s been a strange year.\u00a0 The situation regarding our sport has been unclear, at best, over summer, and since the initial lockdown restrictions began being lifted, then new restrictions came along, the situation has not helped our race organising at all.\u00a0 Ultimately, as you will have guessed, there have been cancellations, delays, postponements, and all manner of complication in between.<\/p>\n

The current situation is that we have decided to cancel all<\/strong> Fell races races for 2020 and also the Dash in the Dark series 2020 \/ 2021.<\/p>\n

We are meeting on a Tuesday eve, occasionally on a Thursday, \u00a0following the all the local and Welsh COVID-19 lockdown rules and guidance.<\/p>\n

Fingers crossed that we can get back to some normality for 2021.<\/p>\n

CRR.<\/p>\n

Advice\/plea to Fell Runners: tread carefully. April 2020<\/h2>\n

There has been a lot of speculation about what is allowed (or not) under the current Government regulations and there are no definitive answers. There will always be folk who try to bend the rules to suit themselves but I urge you all to limit your activities to minimise even socially distanced contact with other people and to avoid any physical contact with gates, stiles etc.<\/p>\n

Advice\/plea to Fell Runners: tread carefully.<\/strong><\/div>\n
Now more than ever is the time to think about others and yourself. We can all help save lives by thinking and being considerate. Running is important for many of us, especially now the UK is in lock-down. This is our chance as a community to show leadership, compassion and maintain and build our reputation as responsible outdoor users.<\/div>\n
Many of us are already working overtime in the NHS and other key roles across the country. We ask you please to read and follow this advice:<\/div>\n
Run for sanity not peak performance – there are no races in the near future.<\/div>\n
\u2022 Maintain base,<\/div>\n
\u2022 Let those injuries recover,<\/div>\n
\u2022 Do that strength and conditioning work you\u2019ve always put off!<\/div>\n
\u2022 Keep in touch! We\u2019ll all miss seeing our club-mates, well most of them, social media makes keeping in touch easier than ever, but the phones still work and not everyone is online.<\/div>\n
Don\u2019t be a casualty – the NHS is busy and mountain rescue and other emergency services are too.<\/div>\n
\u2022 Now more than ever \u2013 do not run if you feel at all unwell. Headache, sore throat, persistent dry cough, temperature of 38 or above and loss of smell\/taste are all documented symptoms of C19.<\/div>\n
\u2022 Don\u2019t go for long and\/or strenuous runs \u2013 injury or heart attacks are best avoided!<\/div>\n
\u2022 Avoid running on terrain where you may injure yourself (think about walking it) \u2013 Mountain rescue may not be coming to get you!<\/div>\n
Kit Check – You are on your own.<\/div>\n
\u2022 Take full FRA kit as a minimum<\/div>\n
\u2022 Take enough food and drink; the caf\u00e9 is shut, the pub is too \uf04c<\/div>\n
Infection \u2013 keep your distance, and keep your hands clean<\/div>\n
\u2022 Avoid other people outdoors where possible, go early or late in the day to avoid the crowds<\/div>\n
\u2022 Keep your distance if you meet others out there.<\/div>\n
\u2022 Think about gates, styles and anything else that people had their hands on. Imagine everything you touch is covered in pink paint! How do you prevent transferring it to other surfaces and users? How do you keep it off the rest of your stuff \u2013 keys, jacket, shoes, front door \u2013 wear gloves you can throw away or wash when you get home.<\/div>\n
Route planning<\/div>\n
\u2022 We love running but its non-essential: run from home<\/div>\n
\u2022 As always, let someone know your route and when to expect you back. By text\/phone if you live alone.<\/div>\n
We all love the fells but the current situation means we all need to act differently. Other European countries have banned mountain sports and imposed 2km limits for all activities. Please let\u2019s all be sensible and keep the access we still have. One news story about a \u2018reckless fell runner needing rescuing\u2019 could be the end for now.<\/div>\n

British Fell Relay Championships 2019<\/a><\/h1>\n

We were fortunate enough to get two teams for the 2019 Fell Relay champs, held at Fairholmes in the Peak District National Park.<\/p>\n

Here is the latest news \u00a0from CRR.<\/p>\n

– see races page for up and coming races in the area.<\/p>\n

***DASH IN THE DARK 3 IS ON TONIGHT –<\/strong> 25 JAN 2019\u00a0 ***<\/p>\n

***DASH IN THE DARK 3 POSTPONED ***<\/p>\n

Due to ice and snow at Coed Llandegla we have had to postpone Dash 3 until 25 Jan 2019.<\/p>\n

The car park and access road is too dangerous and OPA have closed the centre.<\/p>\n

Sorry for any inconvenience caused.<\/p>\n

Hopefully see you all next week !<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

There is now a Defibrillator at Coed Moel Famau – Thank you to the Clwydian Range Runners and Achub Calon Y Dyffryn for helping to bring this potentially life saving equipment to Moel Famau.<\/p>\n

CRR donated \u00a3800 for the defibrillator that was raised by out races during 2017\/18.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We had a very successful Emergency first aid course for Mountain runners, delivered by Conwy Training, on 20th March 2016<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

This was a bespoke course aimed at mountain runners \/ cyclists and was provided for all members and for\u00a0those\u00a0who\u00a0have\u00a0helped marshal at our races over the last few months.<\/p>\n

Hopefully the skills learned will never have to be used, but it will perhaps come in useful if caught out on a mountain or in a race marshaling situation.<\/p>\n

The course was paid for by the Clwydian Range Runners club. Thanks to all who attended and to Pilar for the fantastic training. Thank you also to Denbighshire Countryside Services for the use of the Loggerheads conference room.<\/p>\n

Manchester Velodrome \u2013 15th<\/sup> April 2015.<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Two CRR members had the chance to \u2018ride the boards\u2019 in the Manchester Velodrome on Wed 15th<\/sup> April. Following a nervous few laps the confidence grew and the laps were getting faster and faster with the riders getting up to the top of the circuit. After a couple of \u00a0hours of fantastic tuition from British Cycling coaches it was time to race\u2026\u2026 against the clock. \u00a0Neil Coppack<\/b> almost beat the 20 second lap time that seemed to be set as the benchmark on the night.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Paris \u2013 Roubaix Sportive 11 April 2015.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Jim and Trevor made the trip over to Paris for the Pasix-roubaix sportive. \u201cThe ride was fine on the legs (100 miles of mostly flat), but brutal on the arms. I had pins and needles in my hands for the best part of a week afterwards, despite 28mm tyres and double bar tape. Great experience though and you really get a feel for the history of the race. Only fell off once, although unfortunately it was 100m into the Arenberg in front of a small crowd. Have attached photos of Trev and I in the Arenberg (after the fall thankfully)\u201d<\/p>\n
