Marshals wanted for the Baslow Bolt! 📣

Our friendly Peak District fell race needs a few more helping hands on Saturday 28th November. Could you join our brilliant team of marshals?

No experience needed - just a couple of hours that morning to point runners in the right direction, cheer them on and help keep race day running smoothly.

You’ll get plenty of fresh air, a warm welcome… and cake at the finish! 🍰

If you can help, comment below or send us a DM. And please share this post or tag a friend or family member who might fancy joining us.

📅 Saturday 28th November, in the morning.

Thank you — we couldn’t do it without you!

Tickets for the Baslow Bolt fell race go on sale on Saturday 17th October at 10am. That’s less than two weeks, the countdown is on! 🏃🏽‍♂️🏃🏿‍♀️🏃🏼

You’ll be seeing these posters pop up in and around Baslow over the next few days, a reminder that’s it’s Bolt season again, woohoo 🎉🎉

There will be 400 tickets up for grabs as usual. And when they’re gone, they’re gone. We usually sell out within a handful of days - so make sure you’ve got the date on your calendar 💪

The entry fee is £13 again this year - and will again include refreshments for runners after the race. As in previous years, there will be no money refunds after entry - so be sure you can run before signing up.

We are incredibly proud to be part of the OUTSIDE Winter Race Series, supported by Rab, again this 2026/27 season.

The races in the series are:
🔸Curbar Commotion - 3 October 2026
🔸 Hathersage Night Fell Race - 18 Nov 2026
🔸 Baslow Bolt - 28 Nov 2026
🔸 Hathersage Hibernator - tbc Jan 2027
🔸 Winter Half Tour of Bradwell - tbc Feb 2027
🔸 Grindleford Gallop - 13 March 2027

Outside and Rab are very generously providing male and female winner’s prizes for each age group, as well as overall prizes for the 2026/27 Outside Winter Fell Race Series Champion.

The 2026/27 Outside Winter Race Series�Champions will be the fastest male and female runners who have completed all the races (with a minimum of 2 races needed in order to qualify for the overall champion title).

Each race has a Fell Running Association (FRA) license and therefore each organiser follows the rules laid down by that organisation. Their instructions will need to be followed.

It’s not long now til the season kicks off - the Curbar Commotion is this coming Saturday 3rd October. Then ticket sales for the Baslow Bolt open on Saturday 17th October.
The Hathersage Night Fell Race is already fully subscribed, they’re currently running a waitlist so get on that if you’re hoping to take part.

Watch this space for more info (hit the Like 👍🏻 button, if you haven’t already) and put the dates on your calendar 🙌🏻🙌🏻

All the pennies are counted!

Every year the proceeds of our little fell race are split between Baslow St Anne's CofE Primary School, Baslow St Anne's Church buildings restoration fund and a charity chosen by the school - which this year is Shelter, the national campaign for homeless people.

They will each be receiving just over £1,700 as our total amount raised this year was a glorious £5,130.69. Not bad for a couple of hours run in the mud!

Many, many thank yous are in order…

Firstly, MASSIVE THANKS go to James Turnbull and all the team at Outside in Hathersage for their continued support. And of course to Rab. We are very honoured and humbled to be part of their Winter Race Series.

The race would not happen without the huge and loyal team of race organisers, enthusiastic marshals, prize donors, café volunteers and bakers, local businesses, community members and groups who all came together to make the day run smoothly. You know who you are ✨✨

Thank you to you all, to name a few: Peak Ales Ltd, Chatsworth House, Fitism, Baslow Physiotherapy, Bakewell Physiotherapy Group and Becky Lyne at TrYumph in Life, plus voom nutrition. The Baslow Bell Ringers, The Bakewell Bakery, Whittington Moor Printing Works, Baslow St Anne’s Church, Baslow St Anne's School PTA, Curbar Primary PTA, Peak District Scouts, Edensor Tea Cottage.

Last but certainly not least THANK YOU to all the RUNNERS 🏃🏃‍♀️🏃🏽‍♂️who took part in this year’s race (two whole weeks ago now, can you believe!). We would not have raised these incredible amounts without your participation and generosity.

Here’s to next year!

The sixth Baslow Bolt off to a pretty soggy - but enthusiastic - start 🏃🏼🏃🏼‍♀️🏃🏽‍♂️

28/11/2025

Come rain or shine - but most probably 🌧️- we’re ready for you Bolters ⚡️⚡️

The team have been out today marking and signposting the route and Registration is all sorted.

Tomorrow there will be marshals galore, encouraging you at every turn.

There’s a chance there will see some highland cattle on Baslow Edge, which will be a treat - but please give them a wide berth. Marshals will give a warning if there are cattle about.

In terms of conditions, the course is definitely soft. The forecast is for heavy rain overnight and rain during the race so conditions are expected to get very wet and muddy - your grippiest shoes are a must! You’ll certainly deserve your tea and cake at the finish ⚡️☕️🍰

We can’t wait to see you in the morning and wish you all a fantastic race🏃🏼‍♀️🏃🏽🏃‍♂️

A message from the Race Directors:

“Thank you for taking part in the sixth annual running of our little fell race!

It’s a friendly village charity event run by volunteers with no cut off times to make it as accessible as possible. It’s as much about the last person as the race winner and we want everyone to have fun and enjoy themselves!

The mixed weather of the last couple of weeks has left the course quite soggy and muddy. Come prepared for wet, slippery conditions and dress accordingly for a winter fell race.

Plenty of home-made cakes and hot drinks await you at the end! Many thanks and see you on Saturday.”
