Bowels of Fleetwith Fell Race | Honister Slate Mine

Not your average fell race.
The Fleetwith Fell Race takes you across rugged mountain terrain and deep inside the mine — combining classic fell running with a truly unique underground section.
One moment you’re climbing towards a summit, the next you’re navigating tunnels inside the mountain. It’s challenging, different, and seriously memorable.
Two Routes. One Unforgettable Experience - 5Km & 10km
5KM – Short, Sharp & Underground
Start: 11:30am
You’ll set off already equipped with a helmet and headtorch, heading straight uphill before dropping into the mine.
From there, it’s a mix of underground running and open fell terrain, finishing with a climb and descent that will test your legs.
10KM – Full Mountain Challenge
Start: 11:40am
This route begins out on the open fell, taking you up towards Fleetwith Pike before returning to the mine entrance.
After gearing up, you’ll head underground — then back out again to continue across the fells and towards the finish.
