Welcome to the Tim Watkins Blodslitet 2011

This mass start, long distance race was renamed the Tim Watkins Trophy in memory of Tim who died following a car accident in March 2005. Tim was instrumental in introducing this demanding race to the UK and had already organised the first two races.

In Norway, each autumn since 1977, Fredrikstad Skiklubb has staged the original Blodslitet.  During this period it has been raised to an almost cult event, this year attracting 1700 competitors from all over Scandinavia and elsewhere.  The nearest literal translation to "Blodslitet" is "Blood letter". The Tim Watkins Blodslitet may not produce blood, but is designed to challenge at each and every entry category.

This event will challenge an individual’s endurance and mental agility to the extreme over some of the Lake District’s finest orienteering terrain.   

The 2011 event will be held on Silver How with parking on Elterwater Common. For more details see the flyer.

This year there is once again the opportunity for a weekend of varied racing. Borderliners are holding The Nopesport Urban League final in Penrith, on Saturday 26th November.
