BOXING Day Whinberry Naze Dash has been saved. Due to be discontinued when a new organiser couldn't be found, a team of Rossendale Harriers will now promote the event.
Traditionally run in fancy dress, last year's entry included a dozen Todmorden Harriers dressed in a Chinese Dragon outfit. The 4.5-mile fell race starts at Marl Pits Sports Centre in Rawtenstall. Start time to be confirmed (last year 11.30am). Event is not in FRA calendar.
DARWEN Dashers have announced that the annual race dedicated to the memory of young Dasher David Staff will take place on Sunday, December 12. Since its inception in 1995, the event has raised several hundred pounds for the heart charity CRY, and this year thanks to generous support by Akzo Nobel and Crown Berger all finishers will be presented with a T-shirt. The five-mile fell race starts from the Kiosk in Sunnyhurst Woods at 11.30am, and entries will be accepted on the day.
RACE organiser Lee Passco of Clayton Harriers is looking for a sponsor for the Stanhill Fell Race in Oswaldtwistle on May 23. If you can help, please contact: Lee on 07967 230786.
