The traditional curtain raiser of the West Yorkshire fell racing year, the Giant's Tooth Race, the 2026 edition named in memory of Chris Smale, former race organiser, fell runner and friend who tragically was taken by cancer early 2025.
Always a fun race, with a typically festive atmosphere, fell runner excuses (hangovers, niggles etc) and smiles.
