Hodgson Brothers Mountain Relay
The Hodgson Brothers Mountain Relay is a fell running relay held in the Lake District Fells and staged on the first Saturday in October. The race runs over four legs, each run in pairs, so teams consist of eight runners in total. The route includes hard climbs, steep descents and sections of difficult terrain that require careful navigation; the use of GPS is not allowed.
Teams compete in Open, Womens, Mixed Open and Mixed Vets categories. The Mixed Vets category requires four men and four women who are all aged 40 or over on race day. There is a minimum age of 18 for most legs, with one 16 or 17 year old permitted on Leg 1 if partnered with an adult and with written parental consent.
Entry is by pre selection via SiEntries and is limited to seventy teams. Preference is given to clubs with a history of supporting the event, and some vetting is used when entries exceed the limit. The entry fee for 2026 is £100 per team and, once an accepted entry fee has been taken, entries are non refundable. Teams must register their individual leg runners online by midday on Friday 2 October 2026. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
