Youlgrave's Pommie Panter Fell Race
The event is Youlgrave's Pommie Panter Fell Race. It takes place in Youlgrave, Derbyshire. The 2026 edition is scheduled for Sunday, 17th May.
The route is 5.8 miles (9.3 km) with 876 feet (267 m) of climb. It is described as a traditional Peak District fell race. The terrain includes rough trails, open fields, some country lane, low-level technical sections, and a swamp. It is run under Fell Running Association (FRA) rules and has a category of BS (short race). The course is partially marked and marshalled, and some navigation skills or local knowledge are an advantage. Approximately 80% of the route is on potential grazing land, so there may be cows.
Entry is by pre-entry with a limit of 200 participants. The entry fee is £6. All profits go to Youlgrave Parish Council to be spent on village facilities. The minimum age to participate is 16.
Parking is at Alport Lane Playing Fields (DE45 1WN). Space is limited, so car sharing is encouraged. Alternative parking is suggested at Coldwell End car park. Registration and number collection is from 9:30 to 10:40 at the playing fields. The start is at the Village Well on Moor Lane, and the finish is on the main street between the village shop and The George pub.
Prizes are awarded for overall and category winners, including medals for the first male and first female finisher within the local Bugle delivery area. Categories include Open, 40+, 50+, 60+, 70+, and 75+ for both men and women.
Post-race, water is provided at the finish. The after-party is held at The George pub. The village has several pubs, a bakery/cafe, and shops. There is also a family-friendly paddling area in the river and a playground near the parking. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
