Hodgson Brothers Mountain Relay
The Hodgson Brothers Mountain Relay is a fell running relay set in the Lake District fells and held annually in October on the first Saturday of the month. The event is run over four legs, each completed by a pair of runners so teams consist of eight runners in total. The course includes hard climbs, steep descents and rough terrain, and navigation is required as the use of GPS is not permitted.
Teams compete in four categories: Open, Womens, Mixed Open and Mixed Vets. A Womens team comprises eight women. A Mixed Open team comprises four men and four women and may distribute those runners across the legs as the team chooses. A Mixed Vets team comprises four men and four women who must all be aged 40 or over on race day. Entry rules allow only one team per club in any single category.
Entry is limited to 70 teams and places are allocated on a pre selection basis with preference for clubs that have supported the event historically. Clubs accepted in the previous year are offered priority for places following the 2025 cancellation. The entry fee for 2026 is £100 per team; fees are non refundable once an accepted entry has been paid. Teams must register their individual leg runners online before the event. The race starts and finishes at King George Playing Field, Patterdale. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
