Fast and furious, short circuits of the old quarries around Penistone Hill

Originally started by Dave and Eileen Woodhead these Junior races accompany the Stanbury Splash, Withins and the Stoop. They all start in the quarry, with a mad dash along the bottom before scrambling up the end of the quarry. U10’s then loop straight back round and down into the quarry before they scramble up again and head to the finish. Older age groups do 1 or 2 laps of the moor, running past the edge of the pond and back round by the trig, each time dropping back into the quarry. First race is 10.30 am for U10’s, followed by other ages once the first race has finished.
U10’s do one small lap. U12 and U14 will do 1 large lap,  U16’s and U18’s  do 2 large laps
