Charlesworth Chase
The Charlesworth Chase is a fell running event held in Appletreewick, North Yorkshire. The course covers a distance of 5.2 miles with a total ascent of 1200 ft. Participation is limited to seniors only, with a minimum age requirement of 18 years.
The route begins outside the Craven Arms in Appletreewick. Runners proceed along the road, cross a field, and follow a track toward the river. The course follows the river to Howgill before ascending a forest road. Participants then cut through the trees to join a rough path leading to the fell. The race follows a direct route to Simons Seat, where runners must touch the trig point before returning to the start location.
An entry fee of £10 is required for participants. This fee covers the race and a drink. The event includes a specific requirement where runners receive a pint or half-pint of beer at the finish line, which must be consumed prior to the official end of the race for those involved. Registration takes place on the morning of the event at the Craven Arms. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
