The Cronkley Fell Race is a 17K fell race through the wild landscape of Upper Teesdale. Starting and finishing near Low Way Farm in Holwick, the out and back course follows the River Tees before heading onto the surrounding open fells.
Runners face over 560m of ascent across rough and undulating terrain, with sections where there are no paths to follow. The route is not flagged, so entrants need fell running experience and competent navigation skills to tackle the course safely and confidently.
Organised by Durham Fell Runners and licensed by the Fell Runners Association, the race provides a traditional fell running challenge in the North Pennines. Entry also includes a chip butty and tea or coffee from the Farmhouse Kitchen after the race.
