Coniston Fell Race

The Coniston Fell Race is a challenging 14-kilometre (8.7 miles) fell running event held in the Lake District, England, starting from the Coniston Institute. The course features 1,065 metres (3,494 feet) of ascent and includes checkpoints on the summits of Wetherlam, Swirl How, and the Old Man of Coniston, offering steep, rough terrain with exciting ridge running and a technical descent. Participants must have fell-running experience and navigation skills using map and compass, as GPS devices are prohibited.

The race supports the Coniston Mountain Rescue Team, with all entry proceeds donated to them. The event fosters a competitive yet community-focused atmosphere. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
