August Bank Holiday weekend is the peak season for the "Marquee" Fell Races, short and sharp races associated with village shows or sports and often with good cash prizes (not that that concerns me, but it makes sure a lot of elite guys come out and tow us mortals round at a reasonable clip).
Mercia planned a weekend away to the two most classic of these very traditional events: Burnsall Feast and Grasmere Sports, both of which are well covered in "Feet in the Clouds".
Burnsall Classic Fell Race
1.5 miles, 899'
21:01; 57/152
Grasmere Senior Guides Race
1.6 miles, 886'
20:35; 93/195
