Blencathra

The Blencathra Fell Race, organized by Eden Runners, is a challenging event set in the scenic Lake District. This FRA Category ‘AM’ race covers a distance of 13K with an ascent of 825m, requiring participants to possess navigation skills and mountain-craft due to the potentially difficult terrain and unpredictable weather. The race starts at the fell gate in Mungrisdale and includes three checkpoints: Bowscale Fell, Blencathra Summit, and Souther Fell.

Competitors must carry mandatory kit and are advised to have an OS race map. Entry is £6, available on the night of the event. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
