**Annual Report 2024** 

Dear Member, 

This is my third Annual Report since the WFRA became a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) in March 2022; but this AGM marks the end of my 10[th] year as Chairman of the Association. 

As Chairman I’m proud to say we ended 2024 with 883 members which is a record number, and a figure that has more than doubled since I started in the role. 

We continue to have a stable Board of Trustees, supported by an executive committee who work hard throughout the year to meet the objective of the Association, namely the _‘promotion of community participation in healthy recreation, in particular by the provision of facilities for participating in fell racing and running’_ .  I am satisfied we are meeting that objective. 

**Juniors** – Our Junior membership has continued to grow, and has now become an important part of our membership with it’s own dedicated race series and championship. 

Coordinators Neal Hockley, Tom Meredith are thanks for their commitment to young athletes. 

## **Welsh Championship** 

We have reviewed our championship format from a series of six races to being a single race contest for short and long distance races respectfully, thus replicating that of the new British Championships format.  This being designed to generate greater participation and reduce the burden of travelling on the wider membership. 

## **Environment** 

Last year I announced a new Environmental initiative, that being an award aimed at recognising and rewarding good practice by individual Race Organisers and Competitors alike.  The voting process was well supported by the membership and one of our membership was duty awarded the prize for demonstrating a low carbon approach to attending races. 

Craig Jones, 

## **Chairman, Welsh Fell Runners Association.**
