The route climbs steeply on footpaths through farmland and pockets of woodland before reaching the base of the ridge at the Cat’s Back car park. From this point on runners are on the open fell traversing around Black Hill before a diagonal ascent to the summit where it’s a quick ‘dib at the trig’ and a fast descent following the classic ridgeline of old red sandstone all the way to the start field.
Some of the ground is rocky and technical so this event is not suitable for novice fell runners. Full kit* must be carried and appropriate fell shoes should be worn.
If you are in anyway unsure whether this event is for you and wish to discuss what skills/experience are required please email the RO
