About this event
The Cockfield Chase Fell Race offers a compact 7km introduction to fell running through the wooded hills and moorland of County Durham. Despite being classified as a beginner distance, this race features 160 metres of climbing that captures the authentic character of northern England's fell racing tradition. The course winds through Cockfield's rural landscape, where runners navigate natural terrain and challenging gradients that demand respect. While the distance might appear modest, the rolling nature of fell country means this event provides a genuine taste of the discipline without overwhelming newcomers. It's a welcoming entry point into the fell racing community, where the atmosphere is supportive and the post-race camaraderie is as much a draw as the running itself.
