Kielder Fell Races have been running for more than 20 years. Due to access
restrictions during the
summer the 2 Kielder races will alternate in early March each year.
Kielder Borderer 2011 - Early March (date to TBA) 11:00 am from
Kieder Castle, Kielder, Northumberland. Tea and cakes for finishers. 17 (or so) miles, 3000ft (or so) (BM). Partially marked at start and finish. Navigational
skills required. This is remote countryside and you should be equipped for
severe weather and be confident in remote, inhospitable terrain. One of the
few fell races offering the chance of international travel and possibly the remotest
checkpoint of any fell race in England. Come along and enjoy some of the finest
bog and tussock. Entry fee £5 payable on the day. Registration open
from 9:30. Please note that there is a £3 parking charge if you use the FC
car park at the event centre (nothing we can do about it!, sorry).
Grey's Pike, March 2010 - 5 miles and 800ft
of climb to the top of Greys Pike, easy to follow route with tapes. A perfect
race for an introduction to the delights of fell running in Northumberland.
Will be run next in early March 2010.
