Entry FormsI’ve been asked to post a reminder that the current FRA entry forms are now mandatory for all races taking place under an FRA permit.
It is acceptable for organisers to use race specific forms as long as they contain all of the elements of the FRA forms. This requirement applies equally to relays/team events, and I should stress that all the information needs to be collected for each runner. Further details can be found in Section 8 of the FRA Safety Requirements For Fell Races.

The John Taylor FoundationJohn Taylor was a young international athlete who died tragically from a heart condition known as cardiomyopathy in 2002. The John Taylor foundation for young athletes was created with the aim of raising awareness of this condition, and assisting young athletes. It is a registered charity, 1101008. Funds are raised through a variety of means: many fell races donate some or all of their proceeds to the Foundation.
Important notice for all race organisers and junior competitorsDuring the last twelve months or so the FRA has faced unprecedented problems with underage competitors running in senior races. After consultation with race organisers, competitors, coaches and others with an interest in this problem the FRA Committee has decided that the best solution would be to change the age rule (Rule Ten of FRA Rules for Competition) to ‘age on day’ rather than ‘age as at 1st January in year of competition’: this being much easier to understand by all concerned.
