Cronkley Fell Race

The Cronkley Fell Race, organized by Durham Fell Runners, is a challenging 17.1 km (10.5 miles) fell running event held in Upper Teesdale, County Durham. The out-and-back course starts and finishes in the quiet hamlet of Holwick, running parallel to the River Tees with an ascent of 560 meters (about 1800 feet). Runners traverse a mix of road, track, and open fell terrain through the Upper Teesdale National Nature Reserve, reaching an island in the River Tees as the turnaround point.

The race requires navigation skills as the route is unmarked. Entry includes refreshments, and participants must be over 18 with fell running experience. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
