The Lakes 3000 Ultra : Keswick, Lake District
The Lakes 3000 Ultra is a long trail event based in Keswick, Cumbria, held on 26th June 2027. The route crosses four of the Lake District's 3000 foot summits inside the UNESCO World Heritage Site and covers 54 miles (87 km) with 15,000+ ft (4,500+ m) of ascent. The terrain includes rough ground, large climbs, and long distances typical of fell running in this area.
The course must be completed within a 24 hour period and is managed with a checkpoint system and live GPS tracking. Four well marked checkpoints are placed along the route to keep participants on course. Safety provision includes on-course safety teams and dedicated medical support from CQC accredited teams. The event information describes strict cut offs and full route support during the 24 hour window.
The description of the route emphasises high fells and sustained elevation gain rather than technical details of individual sections. Logistics and equipment expectations are described in separate runner guidance and kit lists provided by the organisers. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
