Tigger Tor

Totley AC Race Series. For the first time the race is based at the Fox House near Longshaw, and the start and finish are along Houndkirk Road (the roman road). The whole of the course is now on off-road tracks and fell. The race involves reaching 12 checkpoints in order via an un-marked route over Houndkirk Moor, Burbage Moor and Hathersage Moor. Landmarks include Houndkirk Hill, Burbage Edge, Higger Tor, Winyards Nick, Toad’s Mouth & Carl Wark providing some of the most beautiful scenery the Peak District has to offer. On race day registration will be in the bar at the Fox House, with kit checks, bag storage and the prize giving in the FRA marquee outside. The pub will be open for food and refreshments before and after the race. The Tigger Tor race is not only a relatively ‘tough’ fell race with some difficult terrain, but it is also subject to the winter weather. Temperatures on the day have regularly been well below zero on the moors and this is even before the effects of the wind chill. The course is unmarked so there is also an element of navigating using a map and compass. In line with FRA policy no electronic navigation devices are allowed to be used (for instance phone apps, GPS watches that can follow a GPX track), except for recording and emergency purposes. Therefore, those with no prior fell running experience are STRONGLY DISCOURAGED from entering. If you have any doubts, please get in touch first with any questions.
