We came very close to selling out in 2022: so please pre-enter, no guaranteed entry on day.
All race proceeds to Buxton Rotary for good causes both local and further afield.
Whilst not a road or trail race, the race is intended to be suitable for those with more limited fell running experience or relatively new to fell running: please contact the organiser if unsure. The course is marked at major junctions: but the onus is on the runner to navigate. Free maps available online or at race HQ.
Full Fell Runners Association kit to be carried - waterproof whole body cover (with taped seams and integrated attached hood), hat and gloves, map of the route, compass, whistle and emergency food. Additonally a water bottle or similar, and some first aid kit are both strongly recommeded.
Water available at 2 points on route, and hot food / drinks available at the finish.
Course very muddy in parts - footwear with good grip required !
Information from previous years is here - this will be updated for 2023 as required nearer race day. https://macclesfield-harriers.co.uk/andrew-heywood-windgather-fell-race/
