Windy Hill Fell Race

Windy Hill Fell Race, staged by CraggRunner, starts at the Rams Head Inn in Denshaw, Oldham. The 12-mile winter route climbs over 2,000 feet, threading moorland trails from the Rams Head toward Hollingworth Lake, up to Blackstone Edge, then along a Pennine Way traverse to the Windy Hill Mast before returning via the Ogden Valley to the finish. The course offers rugged moorland scenery, with checkpoints supplying water and sweets and hot soup back at the pub.

It is UKA-licensed and FRA/TRA-affiliated; February kit is required; entry is limited to 300 and for runners aged 17+. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
