About Durham Fell Runners
Durham Fell Runners brings together off-road runners in County Durham, England. The county council’s community directory describes year-round running across roads, trails and moorland, with Thursday evening sessions based around Hamsterley Forest.
The forest visitor-centre car park is a published meeting point, though runners should confirm the location of a particular session. Appropriate footwear matters on uneven ground, and winter evening runs require a headtorch. The setting gives the club access to woodland tracks and the wider terrain that makes fell running different from a fixed road route.
Its work to widen participation received recognition in 2025, when Fran Blackett won England Athletics’ North East regional Coach of the Year award. The governing body highlighted women’s sessions and navigation coaching that helped more women take part. New runners should check the club’s current arrangements before attending; the council listing supplies a useful starting point, but does not establish every session’s venue or requirements.
