The High Cup Nick Fell Race

​The Date for the 2026 High Cup Nick Race is Saturday 28th February. The route starts and ends on the Village Green and is 9 miles with a climb and descent of 1712 feet.

 

The Race is a community occasion which raises funds for the running of the Village Hall. The Hall acts as a base and check-in. The Race this year is organised by Guy Wilkinson, whose contact details are on the race entry link below. Post-race refreshments are provided by the Village Community and a number of villagers act as marshals and help manage the car-parking. Around 400 runners usually enter the Race. Please note that some of the route crosses private land, which is used with the permission of farmers.

​

Thanks in advance to the many volunteers who help by providing soup and cake and to marshals, car park and kitchen volunteers (and many others behind the scenes).
