LongMynd Valley’s

Test your winter fortitude on one of the UK's classic fell running courses at the legendary Long Mynd Valleys race on February 8, 2026. This challenging 18km journey through the heart of Shropshire demands respect, with 1300m of ascent across rugged, breathtaking valleys. A cornerstone of the Mercia Shropshire Weekend, this race pairs with Titterstone Clee for a true two-day test of mountain running prowess. Strict FRA rules apply, requiring full kit and proven experience in winter conditions, ensuring a serious adventure for seasoned competitors.

Experience the deep tradition of an event that has shaped British fell running since 1987, where the spirit of competition is matched by warm post-race camaraderie and soup. Navigate by checkpoint across iconic landscapes under the watchful eye of the National Trust, starting from the Carding Mill Valley pavilion. This is a not-for-profit challenge where your effort supports local charities and conserves the very terrain you'll conquer. With a firm four-hour cutoff, it's a race against the clock as much as the elements. Secure your entry for a pure, authentic fell running experience that rewards preparation, resilience, and respect for the mountain.
