Beamsley Beacon is a challenging 5.5-mile fell race organized by Wharfedale Harriers, held in Addingham, West Yorkshire. The course starts and finishes at St Peters Church Hall, featuring a lap of the field before heading through village streets, crossing a river via a suspension bridge, and ascending through woods and farmland. Runners tackle a final climb to Beamsley Beacon, marked by a large pile of stones, before descending back on permitted footpaths.

The race includes approximately 1100 feet of ascent and is open to participants aged over 16. Entry is £5, with limited parking available near the church hall. The event offers a scenic and demanding route combining road, trail, and moorland terrain. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
