ALDERMANS ASCENT
Saturday 25th July 2026
Alderman’s Ascent celebrates 10 years in 2026 and what a way to celebrate. The race will be a counter race for the English Fell Running Championship 2026, attracting runners from across the country.
For 2026 we will be moving from the Rugby Club to the Satellite Centre, on Wellington Road, Greenfield, right opposite from the start line.
8.5km with over 400m of climbing, this is a classic fell race route. The route visits the iconic ‘Pots and Pans’ monument before heading out to Shaw Rocks (highest point) before turning back towards Alderman’s Hill where the ‘fun’ begins. A long, technical downhill ‘rewards’ runners to another long uphill battle to the shoulder of Alderman’s Hill and then its a ‘pleasant’ run back to the finish.
Classed as an ‘AS’ race according with FRA rules FRA mandatory kit will be decided on the day. It is advised to bring along full kit requirements according to FRA rules.
This race is a fell race (not a trail race) and is run under the Fell Runners Association (FRA) rules. You can find more info on the FRA, including how to join by clicking on the button below.
