Studmarks is a fell running podcast rooted in the history, culture, and community of the sport.
Each episode features thoughtful conversations with runners, race organisers, volunteers, and local characters, uncovering the stories behind classic races, unwritten rules, and the values that define fell running: self-reliance, respect for the mountains, and a strong sense of community. Alongside personal journeys, Studmarks reflects on how the sport has evolved while holding on to its distinctive character.
Studmarks is about shared experience as much as individual effort—muddy shoes, borrowed safety pins and post-race brews.
