Every year Red Rose Road Runners take part in a series of four fell races (two mid-week and two on a weekend held during the summer) with six other clubs from the Fylde and Preston areas. This is known as the Inter Club Grand Prix Fell Series. The other participating clubs are:
- Blackpool, Wyre & Fylde AC
- Chorley
- Lytham St. Annes RR
- Preston Harriers
- Thornton Cleveleys RC
- Wesham RR
The Inter Club Grand Prix Road Series and Inter Club Grand Prix Fell Series have a significant difference: namely that the Inter Club Grand Prix Road Series is held on closed organized races, while the Inter Club Grand Prix Fell Series is held as part of pre-existing open races organized by outside authorities and are run under the FRA rules. These races are not free you must pay your own entry fee and only first claim members can count in teams. Club kit must be worn (you are reminded that all members are required to wear a club vest, short or long sleeve top in all competitions).
You may also be required to carry additional kit and protective clothing during these races (see Kit for the Fells for details). Organisers may disqualify runners with inadequate kit.
You are responsible for your own safety on the fells and must obey any additional rules and procedures drawn up by the race organisers.
