Course Details

There is a 1.2km walk to the start with 120m of climb.

Download is 500m from the finish.

Full leg cover is recommended: the bracken is quite high but hasn't unfurled yet, so is ok to run through.

Registration is in the Legburthwaite Car Park.

Short: 2.7km, 165m climb (12 controls)
Long: 4.7km, 300m climb (21 controls)
Red (new!): 3.5km, 135m climb (8 controls)
- The Red course is designed for adult fell-runners, or who want a decent run out with easier nav than the Short/Long.
- The distances above are ‘as the crow flies’.

- The Red course will be helpful for those fell runners that want to practice route choice and running on a bearing.

Unfortunately the area is unsuitable for an easy course due to the lack of line features and technical, exposed terrain.

Important Safety Notes:
- You must come and register before starting your run and you must return to registration to download even if you retire from your course.
- If you travelled to the event alone, you must state this at registration or leave your car keys.
- Please come prepared for bad weather and carry a whistle.

Entry Information

Entry on the day is available for the Red course ONLY.
