The opening round of the 2019 Callin/Wild-sponsored Manx Fell Running League takes place this Saturday.

The Ardwhallan race will start and finish at the Outdoor Pursuits Centre, West Baldwin where registration will be open from 12.15pm. The race will start at 1.30pm and will be over a 12km route that includes 750 metres of ascent.

Full safety gear is mandatory for all competitors and this will be checked at registration. Minimum age for entry is 18 years on race day.

There is limited car parking at the Centre plus space at the Colden Plantation car park. The organisers strongly advise car sharing.

Changing facilities, showers and post-race refreshments will be available. This is otherwise known as the annual cake race, with competitors invited to bring along a home-baked treat.
