Beth Pascall Smashes Female Bob Graham Round Record
Record-Breaking Run on July 24th
Beth Pascall Sets New Women's Best Time
On July 24th, Beth Pascall made history by claiming the fastest known time for the Bob Graham Round, a grueling 66-mile fell running route in the Lake District. Pascall's impressive time broke the previous women's record, which had stood for several years.
The Bob Graham Round is named after former fell runner Bob Graham, who first completed the challenge in 1932. The route requires participants to traverse 42 peaks within 24 hours, ascending over 27,000 feet of elevation. Pascall's record-breaking run is a testament to her exceptional endurance and skill.
Pascall's achievement has sparked excitement within the fell running community. Experts believe that her time could pave the way for future women's records on the Bob Graham Round. The progression of the record for both men and women can be viewed on the Records page.
In addition to Pascall's remarkable feat, early January saw Elsey Davis become the record holder for the female Bob Graham mid-winter round. These achievements highlight the growing strength and determination of female fell runners.
