We are pleased to announce that preparations for the 2023 Charnwood Hills Race are underway and we can confirm that the race will take place on Sunday 5th February starting at 10am. We expect the arrangements for the race to be broadly the same as for 2022 but we will confirm all the details before registration opens at 8pm on Sunday 6th November. As usual entries will be on a first come first served basis via the EntryCentral website. Entries typically to sell out very quickly (within 20 minutes) we strongly recommend setting yourself up on EntryCentral in advance and being ready at 8pm sharp to try and grab your place.
We will need plenty of volunteers to help on the race day, particularly with marshalling. If you can help please get the date in your diary and we'll give a shout out for volunteers to register later in the autumn.

Hi all, if the weather stays OK we are planning to meet at Croft Hill for a short walk and then go to the top of the Hill and have a picnic there on Wednesday 29th June.
Meet at the bottom of the Hill about 7 p.m. The best place to park is on the road coming out of Huncote (in South West direction) opposite a set of metal gates (GRID REF 513973). There‘s limited space to pull off here or park in Huncote itself. We‘ll then walk around the bottom of the hill, probably back to the cars, get whatever food people have brought and then aim to get to the top of Croft Hill for 8 p.m. Bring you own food and drinks.
Afterwards we can go for a drink in the Heathcote Arms or Andy Root has kindly offered to have people back to his place.
It‘s all supposed to be very informal. But I’m sure you can find us on the top of the hill at 8 p.m.
Because, the weather is looking a bit iffy on Wednesday we will give the GO/NO GO, or just to go the pub instead!
