The 68th Chevy Chase
Info: Entries for this event open on Saturday 1st February 2025.
| Entry Fee | £30.00 |
The Chevy Chase Race is a 20-mile journey through some of the finest upland scenery in Northumberland giving both runners and walkers the opportunity to channel their energies into a rewarding and demanding personal challenge.
In 2025 we have introduced the Chevy Chase Challenge Walk. The same route, but starting an hour earlier, and with a time limit of 7 hours. Although this is non-competitive, walkers will have their times recorded at each checkpoint and be able to purchase a T-shirt.
You will need to be fit and sure footed, determined, and prepared for all weathers. Your route will take you deep into the heart of the “land of the far horizon”; you will summit both Cheviot 2676 feet / 815m and Hedgehope 2348 feet / 714m.
You will have the unrestrained freedom of the hills, the route is unmarked and you may choose your own path as long as the manned checkpoints are visited in the correct order. Only a short section is on road; the rest of your route follows tracks, footpaths, sheep paths and crosses rough fell. Although taking place in mid summer the sun is never certain to shine and low cloud is a distinct possibility therefore you must be able to navigate by map and compass.
As always, there is a limit of 300 on the event. Further entries will be added to a waiting list and the race will be filled from there if people drop out. You will be contacted when payment is due.
Walkers Start time: 9.30am Time allowed: 7 hours
Runners Start time: 10.30am Time allowed: 6 hours
