“It is hoped to encourage more IOMVAC members to run on the Fells, and perhaps both clubs can benefit. The IOM Fell Runners races listed will be the ones used. The IOMVAC has no intention to organise any more Fell races. It’s a move to support the IOM Fell Running Club, and its existing fixtures, while giving our members the chance to have a similar competition to the Road Running and Race Walking Leagues.” Colin Watterson (Chairman, IOMVAC)
