Fell running

This style of running originated in the Lake District mountains and fells. It is where you often avoid trails and paths to take more direct lines across country, to speed your progress. Fell running requires a good ability on broken mountain terrain, as well as the ability to choose a safe and fast line to ascend or descend a mountain. Due to the lack of time spent on paths, a good level of mountain awareness and solid navigation is required.

Skyrunning

These styles of trail are generally located on higher, steeper terrain, where there are few if any signposts, and the ground underfoot is rougher. You will encounter more exposure and drop-offs, where a greater level of mountain skills and good footwork are essential. Often you will reach a mountain summit on this type of route, and some easy scrambling may be required. Some previous experience of scrambling is essential before considering any of these routes.
