Sedbergh Hills Fell Race
The Sedbergh Hills Fell Race is scheduled for Sunday 16th August 2026 and is based at the People's Hall on Howgill Lane in Sedbergh. The event uses upland terrain in the Howgills.
The route covers 22.5 km (14 miles) with 1830 m (6004 ft) of climb. The course runs across vast, grassy hills with a mix of steep climbs and steep descents paired with sections of fast running.
The combination of sustained ascent and varied terrain means the route places demands on navigation, footing, and sustained uphill effort. It is described as a tough classic that will test fell running skills across open hill country.
Event details are currently being finalised. Participants should expect upland conditions on grassy slopes and exposed ground typical of the Howgills, and plan equipment and pace for significant elevation gain and loss over rough, variable surfaces.
