Fell Challenges / Races

It’s time to get out in the hills.  Here’s a few local challenges and historic race routes.

Glossop 3-Trigs

This has been used for years as a time trial, a social or a training route.  A good solid 12 or so miles visiting our three most local trig points. CLICK HERE FOR ROUTE INFORMATION

Kinder Bastard

Road and trail runners beware – this wont be fun (hence the name). Devised during 2020 covid-world by Ian Crutchley, this takes a visit to Kinder for a run you’ll never forget. CLICK HERE FOR ROUTE INFORMATION

Glossopdale “Women Only” Fell Race
