Longshaw Sheepdog Trials Fell Race
The Longshaw Sheepdog Trials Fell Race takes place on Saturday 5 September 2026 and runs in association with the Longshaw Sheepdog Trials. The race has been held alongside the trials for the last 20 years. Race entry includes free entry to the sheepdog trials and access to a beer tent, hot food, grandstand seating for the dog trials, and occasionally a spitfire flyover.
Course and event details
The event will use the 'New' route that stays on the Longshaw estate. The course distance is 7.1 km (4.4 miles) with 237 m (777 ft) of climb (BS). The route was revised to reduce road crossings and tours parts of the Longshaw Estate and Grindleford Valley; it has some steep ascents and tricky descents. Entries will open 1 May. The race is permitted and run under the rules of the Fell Runners Association. The National Trust assisted with access arrangements with conservation on the estate in mind. Previous race results are recorded for recent years. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
