Castleton Fell Race 2017

Race Date: Friday 9th June 2017

Report by James Rose.

I’m sure the Castleton fell race needs no introduction to many. 6ish miles long, steeply up, undulating along the ridge to Mam Tor, steeply down. The last bit off the ridge down to the valley is a bit mad if you try to run it as fast as your ability (or bottle) will let you, I was certainly impressed by the insane mountain goat-whippet hybrid guys flying past me. Despite the amount of recent heavy rain, it was pretty dry overall, and the weather was good on the night.

Fantastically well marshalled and organised, you are never in danger of going off course, and it’s a welcoming sociable atmosphere before and after. You even get orange squash ready already poured in cups, instead of a cow trough or rusty bucket or whatever. Thoroughly recommended.

The race was won by Alasdair Cambell (again) of Buxton (42:31), and Megan Wison (50:57) of Dark Peak.
