Fell Filming \u2013 Fame for Buxton AC!<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
Club chairman Terry Fowler, in his role for British Athletics, is part of a team writing a new fell, trail and mountain running course, from beginner to elite level, in conjunction with the Fell Running Association (FRA).<\/p>\n He was approached to gather a group of runners to film them looking at the technical aspects of uphill and downhill running, running over obstacles, and a RAMP warm up. This took place on a Sunday in November and was a huge success, with everything covered in the plan along with extra filming done for the higher level course. Due to the success of the day a further day is now under discussion to look at further points.<\/p>\n Feedback from British Athletics and the FRA was that the location was perfect, with great athletes, and the FRA was very pleased that a club with such a rich history of fell running was used. A massive thank you to all of the athletes who took part!<\/p>\n Rob has been a member of Buxton AC and our committee for a number of years, and currently co-ordinates our participation in multiple cross country leagues\/events and relay races.<\/p>\n Rob is an amazing runner, and holds age category club records at the mile, 5K, 5 mile, 10K, half marathon and marathon distances. As you\u2019ll have spotted in the club news, he also won bronze in the recent World Duathlon Championships. However, perhaps his most notable achievement was completing the 2018 Clough Head fell race in 151st position having broken both his arms in the same race!<\/p>\n Rob lives with his partner Elizabeth, and her son James.<\/p>\n Club Events (excluding Christmas events below)<\/strong><\/p>\n Pavilion Gardens 5k \u2013 9am Sat 11th Dec 2021 Feb 2022<\/strong> Cross Country<\/strong><\/p>\n Only events occurring this month are included here: A full list of dates for this season\u2019s cross country fixtures, including county and national events can be found on the club website: https:\/\/dev.buxtonac.org.uk\/cross-country-dates-2021- 22\/<\/p>\n The next Pavilion Gardens 5K<\/a>, open to all, will start at 9am Sat 11th Dec.
