The Nicky Nook Fell Race is scheduled for Thursday 7 May 2026 in the countryside around Scorton near Garstang, England.

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.
