Hodgson Brothers Mountain Relay

Glenridding, United Kingdom • 4 Oct 2025

Based in the Lake District Fells, Hodgson Brothers Mountain Relay is a four-leg fell running relay set at King George V Playing Fields in Patterdale. The event, held on the first Saturday in October, attracts around 70 teams from across the country, primarily from the North of England, and is the longest-running mountain relay in the country. Each team fields eight runners who compete in Open, Ladies, Mixed and Vet categories. The route features tough climbs and steep descents on demanding terrain and requires careful navigation, with GPS disallowed. Entries are by invitation/vetting, with a £130 per-team fee, and it remains a strong social, community-focused day. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
