Trigger Fell Race 2027
The Trigger Fell Race is a linear fell race running from Marsden Cricket Club to a field in Edale village. The course is about 24 miles long with approximately 1650 m of climb. Runners pass seven checkpoints on the route, including two trig points, and must visit every checkpoint in order.
Entrants must be self-sufficient for the race and make their own transport arrangements to get to the start and away from the finish. Previous experience of navigation and long distance running is required. Minimum age for entry is 18 and entries are limited to 250, after which new entrants are placed on a waiting list.
Every competitor must carry full FRA standard kit plus specified additional items. A full kit check will take place at registration. Required items include a full waterproof jacket with hood and waterproof bottoms with taped seams, a hat and gloves, a map and compass, whistle, emergency food, shoes suitable for fell running, a long sleeved top, a head torch, and an emergency survival bag.
All profits from the event go to Woodhead Mountain Rescue Team, who manage the event on the day. The event is dependent on Snake Pass being open for traffic to allow access to Snake Summit. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
