Fells Marathon 2020

Due to the current situation with COVID-19, and the suspension of face-to-face Scouting, we have taken the difficult decision not to plan and run the Fells Marathon this year as it is unlikely we could run the event and maintain safe social distancing, even in a reduced capacity.

Wolds 2021

This event is currently being planned as normal and we hope to be able to deliver the event in March 2021. Watch this space for more updates!

About The Fells Events

The Fells Marathon and Wolds Challenge are hiking events run for Scouts primarily in the Humberside area, but they're open to Scouts anywhere in the UK.

The events are aimed at everyone completing the course and they are set as such. The skill is in route finding and being able to read the map!

The pages on this site will not only tell you about the upcoming events, but also give some valuable tips for your team to be successful.

Fells Marathon 2020

6pm Friday 2nd -

The Fells Marathon is a two-day hiking competition for Scouts and Explorer Scouts. Carrying full kit for the two days, the Scout teams walk around 20 miles while the Explorer Scout teams walk about 26 miles. Overnight the teams cater for themselves on a remote site monitored by event staff – no leaders or team supporters are permitted there. It is a test of navigation, camping skills and endurance.
