Fell running: ‘It’s a way to be free’

Have you ever tried fell running?

Woman’s Hour listener Fran Blackett got in touch with us to tell us about her love of the sport.

Sometimes known as hill running, it involves running off-road, while climbing to a significant height – like up a mountain.

Fran joined Kylie Pentelow on Â鶹ԼÅÄ Radio 4's Woman's Hour to explain why she hopes more women will get involved.

In 2022, tired of being one of only four female members of her fell running club in Durham, she completed a running qualification and now organises women-only sessions.

You can listen to the full interview on Â鶹ԼÅÄ Sounds – it’s the Woman’s Hour episode from 4 October.
