Wormstones has previously been a summer time race. In 2017 it was postponed and ultimately moved to NYE, the same date as another local fell race which always sells out.

The FRA website suggests Experience Required; basically if you're OK running on uneven and muddy tracks and getting through moorland heathers, you'll probably be fine. But if you've not done a fell race before I'd advise caution as there are easier routes to start with. No navigation requirement at this event and most of the route was marked with flags.

The route worked out at 7km from my Garmin (advertised as 4 miles /6.4km) and consisted of an undulating start, followed by a big climb. Along and begin the descent through the moors before finishing on a farm track next to the pub/race HQ.

I really enjoyed it today. I'm sure the views were magnificent but I was mostly looking to see where I was going to put my feet!
