Kilnsey Show, Fell and Track Races take place on Tuesday 29th August 2023
Registration for all the races will open on Friday 28th July, at 8am, and will initially close on 12th August.
Seniors who have registered for the race by 12th of August will then be emailed a link from the Show Secretary to purchase a discounted Show Ticket for the price of £10. Juniors will be emailed a link for a free ticket. Please wait till 21st August for ticket link to be emailed, however a confirmed list of entries should be on the BOFRA website shortly after the 12th August.
For the senior race there is a strict limit of 100 runners due to safety issues with descending the chimney. Once the senior race is full we will open a waiting list in case there are retirements. Any one that enters the senior race and then cannot run must inform us so we can pass their place on.
Once the race is full and you are on the waiting list you will need to purchase a ticket directly from the Kilnsey Show website.
For races that are not full, entries will remain open online till Saturday 27th August, but you will need to purchase your own full price entry ticket if registering after 12th August. It will also be possible to enter these races, except the senior crag race, on the day.
