Latest Information

Please note that this race is a demanding and arduous route run in the evening. For this reason there will be a CUT OFF point of 55 mins just after the top of the BOWSCALE FELL checkpoint where there is an escape route path (333 303) back to the start / finish area. There will be marshals at this point to direct those who MUST return directly to the finish. Those just within this time might be required to take a second escape path (327 292 )before the start of the climb up Blencathra. This point will also be marshalled. Refusal or Failure to follow the direction of race marshals and back-of-race 'sweepers' will result in disqualification and reporting to FRA which will usually include a ban from all FRA races for the rest of the season. This decision is in the interests of competitors' and marshals' safety. Dave Sargent (Race Organiser)

Blencathra route map now available from Pete Bland Sports and a limited number will be available at registration for £4

About US

Where we run

We meet for a club run every Wednesday evening at Penrith Rugby Club, Winters Park..

In winter we start our session at 6.45pm with a warm-up and stretch indoors. Then we organise runs of varying distances and speeds around the streets of Penrith. There are excellent changing and shower facilities at the Rugby Club and we then meet informally in the club bar.

On summer evenings we are more likely to go out into some of the glorious countryside nearby or further into the Pennines and the Lakeland fells. Then we usually find a pub.

What we do
Eden Runners have many different interests, including:

fell running

road running

cross-country

orienteering

triathlon and other multi-sport events

We also organise a number of successful events through the year, including:

We are also a very sociable bunch - after our Wednesday night run we wind down with a drink at the Rugby Club. At the weekend meny of our members can be seen taking part in many of the local road and fell races in and around the area
