For 2026 we are taking on a new race.

MUNCASTER LUCK.

Taking place Sunday 15th March 2026. 12 noon start.

Entry on the day. Cash only. £5

An historic race that was originally ran dating back to the 1980’s. When it started back up the route was slightly different. However, it’s just as rough now as it was back then.

This is a proper fell race, tougher than you might think. Despite not venturing onto the high fells, the ground is rough and the navigation can be tricky in misty conditions. The ground between Raven Crag and the Pepper Pot will especially test your patience, and the two river Esk crossings can be ‘challenging’.

There is no need to climb walls anywhere on the course, and anyone caught doing so will be disqualified.
Route from the Pepper Pot (Stainton tower) to the finish will be flagged.

After the second river crossing you will be hoping you’re not in a close race with someone, as the finish line is up the cannon bank to the castle. A tough finish on tired legs.

Hope to see many of you there.
