Scorton, United Kingdom • 7 May 2026

Nicky Nook Fell Race

The Nicky Nook Fell Race is scheduled for Thursday 7 May 2026 in the countryside around Scorton near Garstang, England. It is a BS category fell race covering about 8.1 km (5 miles) with approximately 313 m (1027 ft) of climb. The venue is the Applestore Café at Wyresdale Park, Snowhill Lane, Scorton, PR3 1BA (grid reference SD509 492).

The course is partially flagged. The final off‑road descent is only available on race night with the landowner's permission; those recceing the route should use the main track instead. The event has a permit and associated UK Athletics insurance from the FRA and lists FRA mandatory minimum kit requirements. Runners must bring a waterproof full body cover with taped seams and an attached hood, a hat (not a buff), gloves, an appropriate map, compass, whistle and emergency food. A kit check takes place before race numbers are issued.

Entry is open for pre entry and on the day, both at a fee of £8.00, with a maximum field of 140 runners. Pre entry is advised so sufficient post‑race provisions are available. Free soup and a roll are provided for runners after the race. There is a good amount of free parking at the Applestore; organisers encourage car sharing or cycling to reduce parking demand.
