Trigger Fell Race 2027
Trigger Fell Race 2027 is a linear fell race running from Marsden Cricket Club to a field in Edale. The route goes over Black Hill, Bleaklow and Kinder and includes seven checkpoints, two of which are trig points. Each entrant must visit every checkpoint in order.
The course distance is 24 miles with 1650 m of ascent. Previous experience of navigation and long-distance running is required. Runners must be self-sufficient for the event and make their own transport arrangements to the start and from the finish.
Entry to the event is managed using pre-selection lists and the total field is limited to a maximum of 250 runners; further entries are placed on a waiting list. All profits from the race are donated to Woodhead Mountain Rescue Team. The event depends on Snake Pass being open for traffic to access Snake Summit on the day.
A full kit check will be carried out at registration. Required kit follows FRA standards and includes a full waterproof jacket with hood and waterproof bottoms with taped seams, hat and gloves, an appropriate map and compass, whistle, emergency food, shoes suitable for fell running, a long sleeved top, head torch and an emergency survival bag (foil or plastic).
