DALE HEAD FELL RACE 2025
1.30pm Sunday 19th October
Borrowdale Institute, Rosthwaite
As part of Borrowdale Shepherds’ Meet, with its Prize Herdwick Sheep Show and Craft Fair, Dale Head keeps the link to our rural heritage alive.
It’s a short 7.3km/4.5mile blast up to Rigghead Slate Quarries, past Dalehead Tarn, and up to the Dale Head summit cairn - with brilliant views to Skiddaw guaranteed! It’s all downhill from there with an elegant, aero glide as you enter the show field where arms of friendship greet you with a cheer and a smile. Fantastic - what a great way to end your fell-running season in style.

AND FINALLY - A DAY TO REMEMBER!!
A certain club member has indicated Dale Head will be ‘my valedictory race’ (her words!)… If you’ve been inspired as I have, wouldn’t it be great to be there, making it a day to remember.
