The Fellsman
The Fellsman is one of the most iconic challenge events on the circuit oozing challenge, charm and character. Set over stunning but very challenging, remote, rugged Yorkshire Dales fells and moorland and climbing over 11,000 feet in its path from Ingleton to Threshfield, this point to point route is serviced by 25 hilltop and roadside checkpoints.

*** NEW FOR 2025 ***
If 61miles seems a little daunting but you still what want to enjoy the iconic charm of the Fellsman but on a smaller (shorter) scale then why not try the Fellsman Dart? Still oozing challenge, charm and character, the Fellsman Dart takes entrants across some of the same stunning but very challenging, remote, rugged Yorkshire Dales fells and moorland but covers just half the distance of the main event. Climbing over 4,200 feet in its 30mile path from Redshaw to Threshfield, this point-to-point route is serviced by 13 hilltop and roadside checkpoints.
On both events, entrant’s navigational skills are tested alongside physical and mental fitness; because of this, only fit and experienced runners / walkers should enter. Whilst traditionally a map and compass were used to navigate, GPX files on GPS devices are acceptable for use as long as entrants carry a map and compass (and have the knowledge to use them) in case of emergency. These are not events to be undertaken lightly but the rewards and sense of achievement on completion are plentiful and make it well worth the effort!
The Fellsman and The Fellsman Dart are organised by Keighley Scout Service Network and they remain staffed entirely by volunteers, many from Scouting. Fully serviced checkpoints offering a wealth of hot and cold food and beverages, transport, accommodation and options to cater for special dietary requirements, ensure that all entrants are well looked after whilst enjoying a fabulous day out in the Yorkshire Dales.
The organisers take entrant safety extremely seriously; a stringent kit list is in place alongside live tracking and cut-offs around the route. Whilst GPS technology and modern updates have been introduced over the years, The Fellsman Events retain their iconic charm and uniqueness and won’t disappoint.
