Skiddaw Keswick

The Skiddaw Fell Race, organized by Keswick Athletic Club, is a challenging 15.4 km (9.6 miles) mountain race with a 960m (3150ft) ascent, held in Keswick, England. Starting at Fitz Park near Keswick Football Club, the course follows firm, mainly hard paths with no bogs, ascending Skiddaw via Latrigg, the Hawell Monument, and steep zig-zag paths to Jenkin Hill, then around Skiddaw Little Man to the summit plateau. The terrain becomes rocky and can be cold and windy, requiring mandatory safety kit including waterproofs, map, compass, and emergency food.

The race is known for its tough conditions and blister-prone paths, offering a scenic but demanding fell running experience. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
