Fell Challenge 2025
Current league table and race results for the Newburgh Nomads 2025 Fell Challenge.
League Table Results will be updated soon after each race.
Race NotesWray Caton MoorA good start to this year's fell challenge. After a good turnout last year, Matt included Wray Caton Moor again this year. We just couldn't miss this race! The Scarecrow festival lends an air of surrealism to Wray, especially on a sublime still evening. After a short warm up loop of the race start and finish - the parts of the course you most benefit from knowing in advance, we lined up for a brief welcome and star…

Harrock Hill race - course maintenance
With agreement of the local landowner we've been out on the Harrock Hill course repairing the fence and broken stile on the south side of the quarry. This should reduce queuing at the stile and also make the fence safer for our runners.
The Yorkshire BIG day out
Well done to Katherine Sutton on gaining a personal best time in the tough Fellsman competition with 60+ miles of day and night running over open Yorkshire moorland on 26 April 2025.
On the same day, new member Stephen Wilkes also gained a personal best in Yorkshire Three Peaks race - a premier event in the national running calendar.
Well done to both on a great day out in neighbouring races on the same day, they're both tough events.
