The Club was established in 2017, founded by Warren Renkel who had recently moved to the local area. He was passionate about fell running and after being unable to decide which club was best to join, he saw an opportunity for some great running routes in the area so started Run Free Fell Runners.
After spending time getting to know the hills, map and compass in hand, the Club had its first run in October 2017. We are still a relatively small Club, but we aim to try and accommodate various abilities from the the experienced fell runner, to those relatively new to the trails.
We now as a Club organise two races a year, one in April which has become one of the biggest races in North Wales in the WFRA calendar, the other is in December and is a lovely little moonlight run which can be finished with a drink in one of the local pubs after.
Like most affiliated Clubs we have a Our Club Constitution which we ask all members and prospective members to have a read
Our Club Colours are Grey and Yellow and all our kit is supplied by Vinyl Bear based in LLandegla.
Run Free Fell Runners also has a club championships with between 6 – 10 races a year where we compete against each other internally. We then have a prize giving at the end of the year alongside our other club awards. Head over to our Club Championships tab for more detail.
Safety
Being a running club with roots firmly in fell running, Run Free Fell Runners recognises that by the very nature of the sport there are inherent dangers. We fully support and promote the safety code issued by the Welsh Fell Runners Association and the Fell Runners Association.
A summary of the advice issued to fell runners by the WFRA is recreated below. For the full WFRA safety advice sheet please view the Race Organisers Handbook on the home page of www.wfra.org.uk.
