Current and upcoming race Series summer 2026

We have several race Series in the fell running calendar which have started in the last couple of weeks or are about to start. They are packed full of fantastic fell races and we’d encourage both juniors and adults to get involved.

North Wales Junior Series – started 15th March 2026

The North Wales Junior Fell Running Series kicked off on 15th March with Allt Wen Juniors. The race visited the hills of Allt Wen and Penmaenbach, just to the west of Conwy Mountain.

There are five more fell races coming up in the Series, all of which are AS (What do the acronyms mean?). The Series is free to take part for WFRA members or £3 for others. Join the WFRA here.

Your best results from up to three of the six races will be counted for the Series, and all juniors completing four races will be eligible for a participation prize.

Coppett Hill was the first fell race in the South Wales Series (as well as being the final counter in the South Wales Winter Hill Series – read about the winners and how that Series unfolded).

There are 7 races in total which range from Pen y Fan at 5.8km (588m ascent) through to the Brecon Beacons/Bannau Brycheiniog race at 33.2km (1500m) which is also the Long Championship race. The races range from AS and AM to BS and BL categories, and the Series runs through until October.

To qualify for the Series, you must be a paid-up member of the WFRA as at 1st July 2026 (join the WFRA here) and have completed a minimum of 3 races within the Series.
