Scafell Pike Sea to Summit

Scafell Pike Sea to Summit is a one day, fully waymarked and supported mountain ultramarathon in the Sea to Summit Series. The route covers 33 miles (53 km) with about +5600 ft of elevation, taking participants from sea level at Seascale beachfront inland along quiet country lanes, through Wasdale, beside Wast Water, up to the summit of Scafell Pike and returning to Seascale Sports Hall.

The entire course is marked with bright orange arrows so following a GPX file or reading a map is not required. Pit stops provide water, hot drinks, salty snacks, sweets, fruit, toilets and access to event staff. Cut offs are set at a 3mph pace with key pit stop locations around 6.5, 14, 20 and 26 miles.

Medical provision is supplied by a professional team from Trail Med, including paramedics and doctors supported by vehicles and a private ambulance. Rat Race also offers a flexible transfer policy that permits entry transfers up to one month before registration and the option to add third party Refund Protect. Participants must be over 18 on the day of registration. An event car park is located about 3 miles from the start and a free shuttle bus runs between the car park and the start line.
