Settle Hills Race

The Settle Hills Race is ran amongst stunning limestone scenery above Settle, and this year the club is delighted to be hosting the 2026 Yorkshire Senior and Under 23 Fell Running Championships. The race packs quite a punch into 7 miles; after a steep uphill start out of Settle, the route eases off a bit before the steep climb onto rough ground above Attermire Scar (if you go out from the start too hard, you’ll probably regret it)! Following flags over lumpy ground towards the first checkpoint at Jubilee Cave, you return to good running on fast paths until, the slog up to High Hill via rough grassy trods which again are well flagged. From the summit of High Hill, there is a very steep, grassy descent to the second checkpoint and water station at the road crossing. The route now follows a rough bridleway and fields back to the Rugby Club and well eared refreshments. Please note that much of the route is off public rights of way and across private land, livestock may be present hence strictly NO DOGS please.
