WFRA Calendar - 2023

If you've not received your calendar. Check your membership status  here.

NB : The symbol (*) on listings below indicates that the Race Organiser intends to register and insure the race through another athletic organisation and therefore subject to that organisation's safety regulations.  The onus is on competitors to check the individual Race Organisers entry conditions and safety kit requirements .

All other races are registered with the WFRA and hence fully comply with the WFRA's requirements, hence benefiting from the Association's public liability insurance cover. (Contact for Race Registration and Safety Officer Gareth Jaggard gaz_jag@hotmail.com )
