The Ennerdale Show Gavel Fell Race is a traditional fell race held at The Leaps in Kirkland as part of the annual Ennerdale Show. The event features a 7.5K senior race with 330 metres of ascent, alongside junior races for U10, U12, U14 and U16 competitors.
The course crosses open fell on grass and heather before climbing to the summit of Gavel Fell, passing the first checkpoint at the top before returning via a second checkpoint on the descent. Run under Fell Runners Association rules, the race welcomes runners of all abilities, with prizes awarded across gender and age categories.
The combination of a classic Lakeland fell course and the atmosphere of the Ennerdale Show has made this a long standing fixture in the Cumbrian fell running calendar. With runnable terrain, steady climbing and rewarding views, it offers an enjoyable challenge for experienced fell runners as well as those looking to take on a traditional fell race.
