Event Date:
📍 Honister Slate Mine, Lake District
If you’re looking for something beyond the usual trail run, this is it.
The Fleetwith Fell Race takes you across rugged mountain terrain and deep inside the mine — combining classic fell running with a truly unique underground section.
One moment you’re climbing towards a summit, the next you’re navigating tunnels inside the mountain. It’s challenging, different, and seriously memorable.
5KM – Short, Sharp & Underground
Start: 11:30am
You’ll set off already equipped with a helmet and headtorch, heading straight uphill before dropping into the mine.
From there, it’s a mix of underground running and open fell terrain, finishing with a climb and descent that will test your legs.
10KM – Full Mountain Challenge
Start: 11:40am
This route begins out on the open fell, taking you up towards Fleetwith Pike before returning to the mine entrance.
After gearing up, you’ll head underground — then back out again to continue across the fells and towards the finish.
