Silent Night Fell Race

The Silent Night Fell Race, organized by Durham Fell Runners, is a challenging 6.6 km race featuring a 370 m ascent, taking place entirely in the dark on unmarked, rough terrain. Participants must navigate to the summit of Chapelfell Top, requiring extensive fell racing experience and specific navigation skills. Entrants must provide evidence of prior off-path navigation experience, and strict kit requirements are enforced for safety.

The event emphasizes the need for proper equipment, including a map, compass, and head torch. This unique race combines the thrill of night running with the festive spirit of the season. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
