The Cross Keys Road & Fell Relay is a team relay held in Uppermill at the Cross Keys Inn. Teams of four runners complete four legs in total: two road legs and two fell legs. The road legs are run as two laps of a hilly circuit. The fell legs are a single lap on an undulating course over Saddleworth Moor.
Distances for the legs are listed as:
- Road leg (two laps): 3 miles, 650 ft
- Fell leg (single lap): 2.5 miles, 800 ft

Category structure separates road and fell assignments within teams and includes men, women, mixed, veterans, juniors, and an any combination category without prizes. The event is organised by Saddleworth Runners and takes place at the Cross Keys Inn, Church Rd, Uppermill OL3 6LW. Event terms, cancellation and refund policies are published by the organiser.
