Bamford Carnival Fell Race
Bamford Carnival Fell Race is a licensed Peak District fell race of 7.2 km with 320 m of ascent, organised from Bamford Recreation Ground (grid ref. 206829). The course runs directly to the summit of Win Hill, then returns to the Recreation Ground by a loop that includes a twisty descent through gorse and a variety of paths.
The route begins with a dash across the field and a funnel into Water Lane, after which there are no further bottlenecks. The event is licensed by the FRA under UKA Rules, category B Short. Free car parking is available on the Recreation Ground, S33 0DA, off Station Road.
Entry options include online entry via SI Entries at different rates for FRA members and non members, and an on the night entry fee. The minimum age for the senior race is 16 on the day of the race. A junior fell race takes place the day after the senior event.
The race has a long history in the area and regularly attracts large fields of runners, including local competitors and visiting athletes. Results and photos from recent years are recorded and made available by the organisers. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
