Welcome to the Home of Radcliffe Athletic Club

Fell Championship

The Fell Championship comprises the 11 races in the Run the Moor Fell Grand Prix.

Radcliffe Athletic Club competes in the Run the Moors Fell Grand Prix (RTM), a series of 12 fell races throughout the year which are contested by local clubs. It incorporates a range of fell races from shorter, well-marshalled introductory races to longer, more difficult races aimed at the more experienced fell runner.

Many of the races are local but some are a little further afield to give runners the experience of running in the Lake and Peak Districts.

Individual and team prizes are available and people who completes a minimum of 5 races are guaranteed a prize.

Find out more on the RTM website or join the RTM Facebook page.

If you are planning to take part in an FRA-registered race you should plan to arrive at the start with (as a minimum) waterproof full body cover (with taped seams & integrated attached hood), hat, gloves, map of the route, compass, whistle & emergency food, with a bumbag/pack to carry them in. These may not all be compulsory for every race (although they are considered best practice), but you won't know this until you arrive at the start.

Race organisers are obliged to carry out random kit checks before the race & can refuse to allow runners to participate if they do not have the required kit.

Cross Country Championship

The Cross Country Championship usually starts in October, and we take part in the Red Rose League for our cross country championship. Details will be announced later in the year.
