Exterminator Fell Race
The Exterminator is a challenging 27 km fell race with approximately 1,066 m of ascent, organized by Totley AC. It is classified as an FRA category B Long (BL) race.
The route is varied and partly marshalled, running over road, track, and footpath through woodland, fields, open moorland, villages, and hamlets. Self-navigation and map reading are required as the course is not fully marked. Competitors must visit all checkpoints in the prescribed order. Six road crossings occur on the route; only some are marshalled, and competitors remain responsible for their own safety.
FRA Best Practice mandatory kit must be carried by all runners and will be checked. Required items include a waterproof whole body cover with attached hood, hat, gloves, a physical map, compass, whistle, and emergency food. Use of GPX for navigation is prohibited.
Two water stations are provided but no single-use cups are supplied, so competitors should carry their own bottle.
Limited parking and basic changing and shower facilities are available at the pavilion.
Prizes are awarded for top finishers, team, and age categories.
