Event details
The Great Hucklow Fell Race takes place on Sunday 5 July 2026 in Great Hucklow, crossing the border of Dark Peak and White Peak. The main race is 10 km (6 miles) with about 340 m (approx. 1,000 ft) of ascent. Entry opens 3 August 2025 and closes 3 July 2026. Minimum age is 18 on the event date. Entry fees listed are £8 for FRA members and £9 for non-members, with an on-the-day entry option at a slightly higher fee.
Course and logistics
The course runs mainly over village tracks, fields, moorland and rough ground, including a water splash, steep climbs to Abney Moor and Durham Edge, descents to a small reservoir and a fast drop to a road, then down Bretton Clough before rising toward Abney Grange and returning through woods to finish at the school. Much of the route crosses private land and permission is granted only for the race morning. Competitors must report to registration to collect their race number even if pre-entered. The event is organised by the local community, typically requires more than 30 volunteers on the day, provides refreshments including flapjacks at the finish, and makes charitable contributions from entry fees.
