Chapelfell Top Fell Race

Stanhope, United Kingdom • 15 Jul 2025

The Chapelfell Top Fell Race, organized by Durham Fell Runners, is a challenging 7km out-and-back fell running event with 400m of ascent. Held in St. John’s Chapel, Weardale, the course features a tough climb to the summit of Chapelfell Top at 703m elevation, followed by a fast descent along the same route.

The race demands experienced fell runners with strong navigation skills, as the route is unmarked and crosses rough, pathless terrain. Participants must carry essential kit including map, compass, whistle, and waterproof clothing. Refreshments are available locally, and the event is licensed by the Fell Runners Association, promoting a competitive yet supportive atmosphere.
