Charlesworth Chase
The Charlesworth Chase takes place on Saturday 22nd May 2027 in Appletreewick, North Yorkshire. The course is listed as 5.2 mile, with 1200 ft of ascent and classification BS. The race starts and finishes outside the Craven Arms, Appletreewick, BD23 6DA, and follows a route to Simons Seat and back.
The route leaves the Craven Arms along the road, crosses a field and follows a track toward the river. Runners follow the river to Howgill, then ascend on a forest road, cutting a corner through trees before turning left off the track onto a rough path to the fell. From that path there is a direct route up to Simons Seat, touching the trig before returning along the outward route.
Entry is restricted to seniors aged over 18. Entry cost is £10 and includes the race and a pint or half beer, which is to be consumed on the finish line prior to the end of the race. Recorded best times for the course are 35.57 (2023) and 42.42 (2025). Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
