Chapelfell Top Fell Race

The Chapelfell Top Fell Race, organized by Durham Fell Runners, is a challenging 7km out-and-back race with 400m of ascent, held in St John’s Chapel, Weardale. The course features tough fell terrain, including a significant climb to the summit of Chapelfelltop at 700m elevation, followed by a fast descent. Participants must have fell running experience and navigation skills, as the route is unmarked and pathless on the fell section.

The event offers a summer evening atmosphere with registration at the Chatterbox Cafe, where refreshments are available. Competitors are required to carry essential kit such as map, compass, and waterproof clothing. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
