Charlesworth Chase
The Charlesworth Chase is a fell race of 5.2 miles with about 1,200 ft of ascent. The course starts outside the Craven Arms in Appletreewick, goes to Simons Seat and then returns to the start.
Runners follow a road and cross a field before descending a track toward the river. The route follows the river to Howgill, then ascends a forest road. Competitors cut the corner through trees, turn left off the track onto a rough path to the fell and continue directly up to Simons Seat, touching the trig before the return leg.
Entry cost is £10 and includes the race and a drink; a pint or half beer is provided to be consumed at the finish prior to the end of the race. The event is for seniors only and is open to those over 18. The location is outside the Craven Arms in Appletreewick, North Yorkshire.
