COURSE DETAILS The following is an incomplete list of course details. The information is compiled from various sources, including Studmarks on the Summits, and the FRA website. It covers the main races that were established early in the history of the sport. The last column shows a calculation of the number of feet of ascent per mile, a very rough indicator of severity of courses (obviously biaised towards shorter courses). This shows Grasmere, Burnsall and Wansfell as potentially the toughest with their 600 feet per mile of ascent. The tow lowest scorers are the two Skylines, at Withins and Chew Valley , with 143 and 154 feet/mile respectively. Course records can be found on the FRA website by going to http://fellrunner.org.uk/races.php - unfortunately you need to look at individual race pages.
