The Trial is an annual event held at different venues in the Lake District in mid-September. It is considered to be one of the major events in the fell-runner's calendar. The Classic and Medium courses will be severe tests of route choice, navigational skill and stamina in difficult mountain country. The Classic route will normally cover a maximum of 20 miles with ascent and descent of about 8000 ft. The Medium route will be shorter (about two-thirds of the Classic distance). Owing to the severity of these courses, applicants are vetted for fell-running experience.

The Short Trial caters principally for novices over 18 years old and veterans over 50. The course is about 10 miles in length with about 3500 ft of ascent and descent.
