Otley, United Kingdom • 21 Mar 2026
We Need To Talk About Chevin is a Category BM fell race organized by Great Owl Running in Otley, West Yorkshire. The 14-kilometre (about 9 miles) course climbs around 650 metres (roughly 2130 ft) of challenging, off-road terrain, starting and finishing on Station Road. Runners tackle Chevin's well-known features—from Surprise View and the Chevin Steps to the Danefield climb, Poolscar Wood, and the Fells Plantation—before returning to Otley. The race is partly marked with a map provided, and participants must be self-sufficient with mandatory kit; a water refill exists at 6 km. Finishers receive a complimentary pint at The Black Horse, plus post-race snacks and optional medals/tees. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
