Duddon Valley Fell Race

The Duddon Valley Fell Race is a challenging category A fell running event held in Seathwaite, Duddon Valley, UK. It features two courses: the Long race covers 18 miles with 6,000 feet of ascent over peaks including Harter, Hardknott, and Swirl How, while the Short race spans 10 miles with 3,000 feet of climb up Dow and Caw. Both races demand strong navigational skills, proper kit, and mountain running experience due to rough terrain and limited paths.
