The Ninth Four Trigs Challenge

Similar to previous years : A ‘low-key’ off-road running event covering a distance of approximately 25km with an obscene amount of climb involved!  Fell Runners’ Association Cat B.                      Link to last year's report / results

Aim: To visit each of the four Triangulation Pillars around the Sid Valley.  Although runners will be able to choose their own routes, they must visit each Trig Point in order.  Excessive road running will be frowned upon!  Some knowledge of navigation or local knowledge of the area might help with route choice.

WHEN: Sunday 15th February 2009 : Briefing at 9:15 am . . . . Start at 9:30 am

PROVISIONAL ROUTE: Reverse to last year!                                   Link to Registration Form
