The Cross Keys Road and Fell Relay is a distinctive team event based at the Cross Keys Inn in Uppermill, Saddleworth. Teams of four combine road and fell running, with two competitors tackling road legs and two taking on fell legs in a format originally created to bring runners from both disciplines together.
The road legs each cover approximately 3 miles and 650ft of ascent over two laps of a hilly circuit, while the fell legs cover around 2.5 miles with 800ft of climbing. Fell runners follow a single undulating circuit across Saddleworth Moor, creating a contrasting challenge to the shorter, hilly road sections and making teamwork across different running strengths an important part of the event.
Categories include open men's and women's teams, mixed teams, veterans and juniors, alongside an option for other team combinations. Fell runners may be required to carry full body cover depending on conditions, reflecting the exposed moorland terrain, while the Cross Keys Inn provides a sociable base for the relay.
