Weardale Agricultural Show Fell Race
The event takes place on Sat 28 Aug 2027 at the Weardale Agricultural Show in St John's Chapel, England. The fell race is on the Show Field (DL13 1QH, grid ref NY 8860 38003) in the Northumberland / Durham region and is run under a Category CS permit with UK Athletics insurance from the FRA.
The main race covers 4 km / 2.5 miles with about 120 m climb. This is the third running of a slightly longer, extended course compared with earlier layouts; records reflect the 2025 results for this revised route. The start line is outside the Secretaries Tent on the showfield.
Entry is on the day only, with a fee of £2.00 and entries taken at the Secretaries Tent; there is no pre-entry. The minimum age for the main race is 12. Teams are not allowed. Junior races are provided alongside the main event with short laps for younger children:
- Main race: 4 km / 2.5 miles, 120 m climb
- 4 to 6 year olds: 1 length of the Main Show Ring (approx 50 metres)
- 7 to 9 year olds: 4 lengths of the Main Show Ring
- 10 to 12 year olds: 6 lengths of the Main Show Ring
U18 is the only junior category listed for age-group classification due to low entry numbers. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
