RIP Joss Naylor | Fell Running ICON

A legend of fell running in the UK has passed on and I thought we should pay our respects as he's perhaps not as well known to trail and ultra runners as some other sporting legends.
So join me as we take a brief look back at at the incredible achievements of Joss Naylor MBE who died on Friday June 28th 2024.

Let’s not forget he did all that being a full time farmer, a back that should not have withstood the job he did never mind fell running, plus only one decent knee to brake on. Astonishing, pioneering, but most of all a fells man who loved the Lakes and his dogs. RIP Joss, I’ll drink a pint of Guinness to you.

[@jimross5806]

One of the finest distance runners these isles have ever seen.
RIP Joss.

Wonderful tribute

[@FilmMyRun]

Thank you so much

[@barryedwards7816]

Worth remembering the eponymous challenge he set up called the Jos Naylor Challenge which can only be completed by people over 50 years of age, covers 30 summits and 48 miles from Pooley Bridge to Greendale Bridge. He regularly took time to meet the finishers outside his home sitting on his own stone built seat.

Amazing man. Feats of strength and endurance after completing a very hard day on the farm. Very quiet and humble but engaging, encouraging with a dry wit. Words like icon and legend are thrown around these days way too easily but Joss really was an icon and a legend. He absolutely loved the Wasdale valley and the whole of the Lakes. If you have a few minutes watch the Salomon TV TH-cam video "Of Fells and Hills" for an insight, along with portraits of Billy Bland and Kenny Stuart. Joss will be forever in the lakeland fells. I was privileged to shake his hand on two occasions and get his autograph. Thoughts with his family and close friends. RIP Joss. King of the Fells.

I'll never forget seeing him in his underpants after the Lake District Mountain Trials in 2017. Quite a sight 😂

[@steve7882]

Joss was an inspiration to us all. But his Pennine Way Record was broken by others including Brian Harney in 1979 who I had the privilege of running a 100 mile race with in 1988
