more About usIf you’re looking for jaw-dropping views, technical trails and superb sky, mountain and trail running in the heart of the beautiful English Lake District then look no further.
We offer a variety of races from your first technical trail race to dipping your toe into our shorter sky race distances to the higher level and more extreme and exciting technical mountain, ultra and sky races.
Our all-inclusive approach allows you to enter the elegant world of technical sky, mountain and trail running whilst being fully supported by a highly skilled event and mountain safety team.
All of our race routes are fully marked, with the maximum ascent packed into each race distance and have been designed carefully to test sky, mountain and trail runners of different abilities wishing to push their skills, comfort-zones and nerves.
Our long-standing Rab Scafell Sky Race, Rab Helvellyn Sky Ultra and Rab Pinnacle Ridge Extreme races are all part of the Skyrunning UK National Series.
In 2023, we launched a number of new and exciting races aimed at increasing the variety and diversity of races available. Check out our St Sunday Sky Race, Place Fell 15 Trail Run, Stickle Grind 650 and Swirral Grind 850.
