Risk Assessments

On this page you can view and download our event Risk Assessments and the Welcome Documents that are shared with leaders and parents (via groups). These are made up of a number of elements:

Generic Risk Assessment

This covers the standard events of the Fells Marathon and Wolds Challenge HIke each year, with a section added to this each time that details variations and location specific considerations. These are known as Event Specific Risks and are detailed in a table below the Generic Risk Assessment.

Within this document, the details of the people responsible for the various parts of the event are also listed.

Camping Risk Assessment

This covers the overnight site for the Fells Marathon event. Camping on the Friday night is the responsibility of the groups.

Centre Risk Assessment

This covers activities at the Centre used by the volunteers supporting the event.

Free Time Risk Assessment

This covers 'free time' at the Overnight site' for the Fells Marathon. It is expected that particularly teams finishing early, will have an element of 'free time' in the afternoon / evening of the event.
