Lakes Sky Ultra™, Scafell Sky Race™ and Pinnacle Ridge Extreme™ are extreme mountain races, played out across the highest, most technical and most demanding terrain in the Lake District. All three races are part of the Skyrunning UK . Ireland National Series.
Wansfell Mountain Race is a short course that packs a big punch: with 600m ascent and some of the finest downhill in the lake district, it’s 10k of lung-busting, quad-crunching mountain running in its purest form.
The Langdale Trail Races, being the Langdale 10k Trail Race, Langdale 3km Family Fun Run and the Stickle Grind Vertical 650 are a trio of races from the valley floor to the summits of Great Langdale. These three races offer 'the family' a full trail and mountain running experience over a fantastic music weekend delivered by the Stickle Barn team as part of the National Trusts October Weekend.
