The Fellsman

Tackle one of Britain's most legendary ultra-running challenges at the 62nd Fellsman from 25th-26th April 2026, a formidable 61-mile traverse across the remote and rugged Yorkshire Dales. For those seeking a monumental test, the flagship event climbs over 11,000 feet from Ingleton to Threshfield, demanding expert navigation and supreme fitness on a route serviced by 25 volunteer-staffed checkpoints. Alternatively, the 2nd Fellsman Dart offers a 30-mile, 4,200-foot ascent version that captures the iconic event's essence and camaraderie in a more accessible, yet still demanding, format. Both point-to-point journeys are steeped in history and character, organized by Keighley Scout Service Network, with checkpoints providing legendary hospitality and hot food to fuel your adventure. A stringent mandatory kit list, live GPS tracking, and strict cut-offs ensure participant safety in this challenging and remote environment. Whether you choose the epic full distance or the formidable Dart, completing this iconic event promises an unforgettable sense of achievement born from true northern grit and breathtaking Dales scenery.
