Welcome

• This is a work in progress, which brings together various FRA documents for planning and running an event.
• The design philosophy:
  • To prompt all those involved in fell races to think about their responsibilities and fulfil them.
  • Clear communication via consistent formats is a way of achieving that goal.
• The system is not intended to be a superficial tick box exercise, which implies the Race Organiser has conformed with FRA requirements.
• It is expected that in addition, Race Organisers will produce their own fully detailed plans for their race.
   
• The input data validation and output are based on current FRA rules, guidelines, and documents.
• The system has not yet been endorsed by the FRA committee, even though it is hosted on their website.
• Please read the Notes and Document Usage pages, which can be found on the Notes menu.
