Eccles Pike Fell Race is a traditional 3.4 Mile fell race based at Buxworth War Memorial Club in Derbyshire.
The out and back course climbs from Buxworth to the summit of Eccles Pike before descending rapidly towards the finish. With around 275m of ascent over a relatively short distance, the race provides an intense test of climbing strength and descending ability across paths and open fell terrain.
Eccles Pike has a long history of competitive racing dating back to the 19th century and retains the straightforward character of a traditional Peak District fell race. The event is held under Fell Runners Association rules, with prizes for leading runners and age categories. Its combination of history, steep climbing and a fast descent makes it a distinctive fixture in the Derbyshire fell running calendar.
