Eyam Fell Race

The last 4 Eyam Fell Races have sold out so we suggest early booking to avoid disappointment as numbers are strictly limited.

We also have some great prizes, many of which are supplied by our kind sponsors at The Barrell Inn at Bretton, plus a BBQ and bar in the courtyard at the end. It’s a super friendly event with lots of marshals, so suitable for a wide range of abilities and experience. If you are new to fell running, try it out! We promise to make you feel very welcome.

The race is for ages 17 and upwards (on the day of the race). Anyone under 18 must have some fell running experience over similar distances.

The race starts and finishes in the historic ‘Plague’ village of Eyam. Commences with a tough climb out of Eyam up to Sir William Hill, past the Barrel Inn and over towards Bretton Clough. Once there you are rewarded with one of the best views of the Peak District. No time for sightseeing though as you turn right and plummet down through Abney Moor, around a tight switch back and up through the lovely heather towards Sir William Hill again. The route then takes you down through a steep wooded section before you emerge back in to Eyam.
 

As well as the usual prizes we have the Archie Hartwright Memorial Trophy for the first mixed club team.
