Hayfield - if you can avoid being mown down by fell runners charging about all over the place it's actually not a bad place to live...
FRA - the Fell Runners Association is the governing body for fell running in England. Individual membership costs around £16 per year and amongst the many good reasons for joining are the Fellrunner magazine which is sent to members three times per year and the annual fixture list which provides details of around 500 fell races throughout the UK.
Here is a downloadable copy of the standard FRA entry form.
LDWA - the Long Distance Walking Association organises walks of various distances up to 100 miles. Many of these walks allow runners to take part and they make excellent training runs, quite often with tea and biscuits en route.
Bullock Smithy Hike - if you find yourself at the finish of the Kinder Trog thinking "that wasn't too bad - maybe I'll run round a couple more times" then it may be that the Bullock Smithy is your sort of race (and it has an excellent results site!)
Kinder Mountain Rescue - there's a good chance that these chaps will come to your assistance should you find yourself in difficulty while running on the hills around Hayfield.
