Chapelfell Top Fell Race

The Chapelfell Top Fell Race, organized by Durham Fell Runners, is a challenging 7km race featuring a 400m ascent. Set in St. John's Chapel, Weardale, the course offers a mix of tough fell ground, a significant climb to the summit at 703m, and a quick descent.

This out-and-back route requires participants to have fell running experience, as it involves navigating rough terrain without marked paths. Competitors must carry essential safety gear, including a map, compass, and waterproof clothing. Refreshments are available at local cafes before and after the race, which is supported by the Fell Runners Association (FRA). Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
