Bollihope Carrs Fell Race

About this event

The Bollihope Carrs Fell Race takes runners into the wild heart of the North Pennines, starting from the quiet village of Wearhead. This 11km route climbs 380 metres through exposed moorland terrain, where weather conditions can change quickly and navigation skills matter. The race follows traditional fell running lines across open hillsides, offering runners a genuine taste of northern England's rugged upland character. While the distance might seem modest, the pathless sections and rough ground make this a proper fell race that rewards hill experience and confident mountain running. The finish back in Wearhead comes with the satisfaction of having tackled a classic Pennine route, one that showcases why this region has shaped British fell running tradition.
