Dear fellow runners,

How about a thought for the New Year. Have you ever considered organising a fell run? They are fairly easy to do & any amount of support is available.
It is obvious huge amounts of enjoyment is had by those participating & the vast majority appreciate the efforts of the organisers. However there are only a few of us e.g. Paul Appleby, Keith Cooper, myself, etc, etc,.

I am always a bit mystified when organising local races when only a few loyal runners turn up. It is especially disappointing when I read of the excellent exploits of NFR runners participating in runs hundreds of miles away. I am not sure of the number of members in the NFR but when for example organising the Powburn Show (a free race) only about 12 turn up. Without these local & traditional Northumberland races we are unlikely to attract future members.

We have vast amounts of potential routes & venues that would make excellent races. So how about it? Make your New Year's resolution and create or assist in a NEW NORTHUMBERLAND RACE.

Happy New Year!! and make 2012 the year you complete every race in Northumberland!

Cheers, I'm off to the pub.
