About This Event
The Fellsman stands as one of Britain's most iconic fell running events, combining the rugged beauty of the Yorkshire Dales with a formidable test of navigation and endurance. This point-to-point journey traverses some of England's most challenging and remote moorland, where runners must demonstrate not only physical fitness but also skilled navigation using map and compass alongside modern GPS technology. Organized by Keighley Scout Service Network and staffed entirely by volunteers, the event maintains its traditional character while embracing modern safety standards. Comprehensive checkpoint support, live tracking, and stringent kit requirements ensure runner safety across this demanding terrain. The Fellsman Events have built their reputation on delivering both challenge and care, creating an experience that rewards preparation and persistence. With its emphasis on self-navigation and remote fell terrain, this event attracts experienced runners seeking a true test of mountain craft. The Yorkshire Dales setting provides a stunning but unforgiving backdrop where weather can change rapidly and navigation skills prove essential.
