Summer Series
A club series of four races from May to September which are also part of the South West Fell Runners fell race series.
To be eligible for the Club series you must be a member of Okehampton Running Club and you must complete a minimum of three races.
With the exception of the Oke Croak you do not need navigation skills but it’s a good idea to be able to read and follow a map. You’ll need to be aware of the weather conditions and wear or carry basic kit e.g. A map, compass, whistle, rain jacket and hat. For the Oke Croak you may need navigation skills if the visibility is poor and it’s also a good idea to carry a small amount of water. In each case the race director will advise runners on what is required.
The club usually offers a recce run about two weeks before the event so you can become familiar with the route and the preferrable routes to take. Please check our WhatsApp and Facebook social media pages nearer to each race.
Current (2024) club champions are:
Female – Lou Duffield
Male – Luke Stannus
