The sixth running of the North East Counties Athletic Association
(NECAA) Open Fell Running Championship series is to take place during
2009. As in previous years the series will incorporate the North East
Hill Running Association (NEHRA) Fell Running Championships for veteran
men and women.
This year the series will consist of seven races of
which a competitor’s best four results will count.
The results will be calculated on the same basis as the British and
English championships, i.e. 1st 52 points, 2nd 49 points, 3rd 48 points
and then 50th 1 point, in each category (see below).
This year, as has been the custom, races are selected from those that
are published in the first edition of the FRA calendar. The races have
been selected from Northumberland, Durham and North Yorkshire. This
is to enable competitors to participate in at least three of the four
races in an area within a reasonable travelling distance of their home.
An attempt has been made to select races that also balance the competition
in terms of length, ascent, winning times, and distribution throughout
the year.
The first race in the series will be the Doctor’s Gate Race
on Sunday 29th March. The distribution of the races will hopefully
give people sufficient lead in time to enable as many as possible to
take part in the championships and complete at least four
of the seven races.
The competition is open to all those over the age of eighteen who
were born in or have been resident for more than one year within the
boundaries of the old NECAA, that is, from Whitby, north to Berwick
upon Tweed, (Northumberland, Durham, Tyne and Wear, Cleveland and part
of the old North Riding of Yorkshire). Age categories,
for the year of the competition, will be those that are declared on
the result sheet of the competitor’s first championship race
of the series. It will be assumed that members of clubs from within
the region are eligible unless they declare themselves ineligible.
Unattached runners and runners from clubs outside the region will be
assumed to be ineligible unless they declare themselves eligible to
the organiser.
Engraved medals will be awarded to qualifying competitors as shown
below.
Competition categories are:
NECAA FR Championships
First three Senior Males and Females
NEHRA FR Championships
First three Vet O40
Male and Female
