The Fellsman

The Fellsman is a high level point to point traverse in the Yorkshire Dales, taking place on 25 and 26 April 2026. The route runs from Ingleton to Threshfield and covers more than 60 miles / 100+ km, climbing over 11,000 feet across rugged moorland. The course is serviced by 25 hilltop and roadside checkpoints.

Entrants must be at least 18 years old. Navigational ability is required; GPX files on GPS devices are allowed but entrants must carry a map and compass and know how to use them. The organisers operate live tracking, enforce cut offs, and maintain a stringent kit list for safety.

The event is organised by Keighley Scout Service Network and is staffed entirely by volunteers. It was first run in 1962 and in 2026 will be in its 62nd year. Entries are currently full and new applicants will be placed on a waiting list. At the time of this entry there are 395 participants and 20 people on the waiting list. The entry fee is £100.

The entry fee includes hot food and refreshments around the route, transport from checkpoints back to Threshfield in the event of retirement, accommodation at the start and finish, car parking at the finish, a hot meal on return, hire of live tracking equipment for the event, a PDF event handbook, the Fellsman tally, a commemorative clothing or equipment item, and a donation to the Friends of the Three Peaks Campaign.
