THIS YEAR'S RACE HAS SADLY BEEN CANCELLED
Hob Hurst's Fell Race is a new but traditional fell race in the Peak District this summer, which took place for the first time in 2018.
Starting and finishing in Beeley on the edge of the Chatsworth Estate, the race will climb up through Hell Bank Plantation and across the high moorland to reach the historic Hob Hurst's House. Competitors will then enjoy a long and fast descent back to the village via Beeley Hill top.
