We are a group of like-minded volunteers who give up our free time to organise the CFRA's existing three annual fell races in Cumbria.
Joss Naylor MBE - Joss sadly passed at the grand old age of 88 in July 2024 after being incapacitated for a few years after a stroke. He was our President for many years & of course a fell running legend with an international reputation. Joss completed 60 peaks on his 60th birthday in 36 hours to raise money for Multiple Sclerosis and on his 80th birthday did a 30 mile combined running/cycling crossing of the lakes. Joss has raised over £21,000 for charity. He was an inspiration to all fell runners as 'Iron Joss' who characteristically pushed himself way beyond where most folk would have given up.
Richard Eastman - Our Chairman, IT administrator, email and website editor. Also the organiser of the Scafell Pike fell race, the Wasdale Horseshoe Fell Race and the Buttermere 'Sailbeck' up to 1999. Richard retired from fell running due to knee injuries, but as an active cyclist and swimmer he occasionally participates in triathlons.
Chris Ellen - Our former Secretary and course radio controller and former organiser of the Buttermere 'Sailbeck' fell Race before passing it over to Richard. Unfortunately Chris had to retire from helping with the races due to a long absence recovering from very serious head injuries from a fall on cliffs in Cornwall.
Bob Davis - Our recent Treasurer and the organiser of the Muncaster Fell Race until 2000. Bob was an active fell runner and often a winner of a vets category prize in our CFRA races. Bob is handing over the job of Treasurer to Richard Eastman & Colin Dulson.
Colin Dulson - was the organiser of the Ennerdale 'Horseshoe' fell race up until 2024, an active fell runner & triathlete.
Dan Worsell - the new Race Organiser of the Ennerdale starting in 2025.
Richard Byers - the new Race Organiser for the Wasdale starting in 2025 who also organised the 2021 Wasdale supported by Ed Gamble.
