Description: Hades Hill is usually the final evening fell race of the season. After a tough uphill start, the route levels out before the rollercoaster ride over Brown Wardle, Middle Hill, Hades Hill and back before a field finish above the start line.
Cut off: Due to the early nightfall at this time of year, we have to include a cut-off. Anyone not reaching the top of Brown Wardle (SD 89842 18684, 1.3 miles and 550ft of climb from the start) within 24 minutes of the start will be retired from the race. This equates to a steep uphill pace of about 12min/km or 18.5 min/mile.
