Great Whernside Fell Race
The Great Whernside Fell Race, organized by Wharfedale Harriers, is a challenging 4-mile event featuring a 1,558 ft ascent. The race starts at Scabbate Gate in Kettlewell, ascending through fields and rugged terrain to the summit of Great Whernside before returning to the start. The course includes grassy tracks, rocky scrambles, peat bogs, and steep climbs, offering a varied and demanding fell running experience.
Juniors run a shorter route, turning before the summit. The race atmosphere is competitive yet welcoming, with free parking nearby and a modest entry fee for seniors. It is a popular event in the local fell running calendar. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
