Guides Races & the Rydal Round Fell Race where super-fit competitors pit their stamina and courage against a gruelling ascent and heart-stopping descent of the fells. Start and finish in the arena. More >>
Hound Trails Local knowledge or a good eye for a 'lish' dog may result in a payout from the bookies after the cacophanous finish of this popular Lakeland sport, where the hounds follow a previously laid trail before returning to the arena. More >>
