Burnsall Sports
Yorkshire Dales
The sports date back hundreds of years and it is known that even prior to the Elizabethan period celebrations of some kind occurred on the Village Green to commemorate the Feast of St Wilfrid.
The Burnsall Classic is a fell race for everyone. Short at just 1.5 miles, it is simply a race to the top of the 386m Burnsall Fell and back. The fell race is also the highlight of the ancient Burnsall Feast Sports which since the 16th century have taken place on the village green alongside the River Wharfe in front of the Red Lion pub. Children’s sports, adult novelty races and a pet show makes this a fun and relaxed day out in the Dales. There is also a Duck Race, BBQ and cake stall to raise funds for St Wilfrid`s Church. Other charities are invited to attend to raise money for their different causes.
