Middletown Hill Race (THE Border Raid)

The Middletown Hill Race is scheduled for 29 July 2026 and is listed as confirmed. Registration takes place at the Breiddens Inn, Middletown, SY21 8EL. Entry is available by pre entry or on the day.

The course is short with a competitive distance of 2.8 km and a total ascent of 440 m, category AS. The route features a steep climb from the start with little respite, so the event is intended for runners with fell experience rather than road-only competitors.

Entry details note pre entry via SI Entries at a fee of £7 and an on-the-day entry fee of £10. The event includes junior races as part of the summer series. Course record times listed for the event include 21:34 (2019) and 23:04 (2022).

The race is organised within the Mercia Fell Runners programme and appears in their summer race listings. Results from previous years are recorded for reference. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
