Welcome to the 2023/24 Outside Winter Race Series, supported by Rab
Derbyshire's Hope Valley is home to some of the best fell races in the UK. This winter, Outside and Rab have come together to support five races whose proceeds help to fund their local schools and charities. Together the races make up the Outside Winter Race Series.
Male and female winners from each race/age category will win prizes from Outside and Rab, and the fastest male and female runners who have completed all five races will bag a Rab Kinetic Ultra jacket to make their cold weather running a breeze!
The five races are:

- Outside and Rab will provide male and female winner’s prizes for each age group, as well as overall prizes for the 2023/24 Outside Winter Fell Race Series Champion.
- The 2023/24 Outside Winter Race Series Champions will be the fastest male and female runners who have completed all 5 races (with a minimum of 2 races needed in order to qualify for the overall champion title).
- Each race has a Fell Running Association (FRA) license and therefore each organiser follows the rules laid down by that organisation. Please follow their instructions. If you have any doubts – ask!
