Anytime Race 5: Staveley

Route Overview & Local Insights

An anticlockwise loop from Staveley that climbs steadily onto open fell towards Potter Tarn, mixing firm tracks with rougher sections higher up. The ground becomes more exposed as height is gained, with wide views across the Kentmere valley and surrounding fells. The route continues over Brunt Knott, where the terrain is grassy but uneven in places, before beginning a longer descent back towards lower farmland and lanes. It’s a varied circuit, that combines sustained climbing, airy fell running and a fast return; making for a rewarding effort.
