Silent Night Fell Race

The Silent Night Fell Race, organized by Durham Fell Runners, is a unique running event that takes place in the dark, offering a challenging 6.6 km course with a 370m ascent to the summit of Chapelfell Top in Weardale. Participants must navigate an unmarked route on rough, pathless terrain, requiring extensive fell racing experience. The event emphasizes safety, with strict kit requirements including a map, compass, head torch, and emergency supplies.

Entrants must provide evidence of prior off-path navigation experience. This race is a festive twist on traditional fell running, set against the backdrop of winter's night. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
