Keswick Mountain Festival, 21 to 23 May 2027

Keswick Mountain Festival is a multi-sport event held over three days in May 2027. The programme includes organised race events, published results and event photo galleries, with 2026 results and photos available on the event pages. Sports entries and festival tickets are scheduled to go on sale from October 2026.

A volunteer and marshal programme operates at the festival; volunteers receive an event memento and food and drink while on duty. Enquiries about volunteering are handled by the event organisers.

Water safety and medical provision are part of on-site operations. The festival provides substantial on-loch safety cover and conducts water temperature checks on race mornings. Qualified first aid teams are present at the venue. Competitors are advised to withdraw if unwell, and participants with immune suppression are cautioned about the risks of open-water activity.

The festival has specific sustainability measures. Single-use cups are removed from feed stations, so participants must carry their own hydration system or cup. There is also an option for participants to decline a race T-shirt, with the equivalent cost donated to a selected charity.

Practical information on travel and parking, accommodation options, frequently asked questions, exhibitor applications and Away Days is available on the event website, which also offers signup forms for a newsletter and a marshals mailing list.
