Chevy Chase : Wooler Running Club
The Chevy Chase is scheduled for Saturday 3 July 2027 with entries opening on Monday 1 February 2027. Registration, bag drop and the finish are at the back of the Cheviot Centre, Padgepool Place, Wooler NE71 6BL; the start remains at the top of Ramsey Lane. Entries are limited to 300 and a waiting list is used once the field is full.
The course is a 20-mile upland route across rough fell, tracks, footpaths and a short road section. It visits manned checkpoints in sequence and is largely unmarked, so competitors navigate their own line across the hills. The route includes summits of Cheviot at 2676 feet / 815 m and Hedgehope at 2348 feet / 714 m.
Event options:
- 20-mile run
- 20-mile challenge walk with a 7-hour time limit
Competitors must carry appropriate kit: full waterproof whole-body cover, other body cover for weather including a hat and gloves and a fleece as needed, a whistle, a map of the route (preferably waterproof), a compass suitable for navigation (GPS alone is not acceptable), and emergency food and drink. Random kit checks take place; missing required equipment prevents participation.
Manned checkpoint monitoring is in place and finishers receive split times. T-shirts are available by pre-order and an extensive prize list is maintained for runners. The main car park is the new long-stay car park at the north end of the High Street, behind the church, about 200 m from registration; Padgepool Place parking is limited to two hours.
