About This Event

Prepare for an exhilarating challenge as the Silent Night Race returns on Friday 18 December, hosted at Chatterbox Cafe in Durham. This unique out-and-back fell race will test even seasoned runners, venturing to the summit of Chapelfell Top at a considerable elevation of 703 metres. The course, a demanding 6.6 kilometres in length, features a substantial 370 metres of ascent. Runners will navigate rough, pathless terrain, making this a true test of navigational skill and endurance. What sets this race apart is that the entire event unfolds in complete darkness, adding an extra layer of intensity and requiring participants to be exceptionally experienced and well-prepared. This is not an event for novices; only experienced fell runners need apply. For comprehensive details, including information on entry fees, please consult the official event website.
