A reminder that it is the Chairman’s Walk this Sunday. Starting from Upper Burbage Bridge Car Park (Where you park for climbing at Burbage North) at 10:30 a.m. PLEASE NOTE THIS IS THE CORRECT STARTING POINT, NOT CASTLETON AS IT ORIGINALLY STATED ON THE EVENTS PAGE. The walk is about 14km long and on easy terrain, but with some mud. There are no toilets en route, but there is a pub halfway round, who have agreed to do us chips. You pay for the chips and beer (or poison of your choice) at the pub. We will probably arrive at the pub at 12:30ish. If chips are not enough, bring some extra sustenance. The pub have asked us to leave v muddy boots at the door, so you may want to bring a pair of lightweight shoes/sliders. Those with extra energy may want to take part in bouldering; indoors or outdoors weather and time permitting afterwards. The weather currently looks dry on Sunday, but cold with an Easterly breeze. If you are coming please let Zoe know (if you haven't done so already) at zpbowline@gmail.com
The race arrangements are now confirmed and we have published the race prospectus and race route (same as 2022) on here on the website. The entry fee for the coming race has been set at £18 and registration for the race will open on Sunday 6th November at 8pm. We strongly recommend those looking to enter read the race prospectus and create an account on EntryCentral in advance of registration opening as we expect places to sell out very quickly.
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.
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.

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.
