Buttermere Trail Race 2027
Buttermere Trail Race is a 20 kilometres circular trail set around the shores of Buttermere and Crummock Water in the Buttermere Valley, Cumbria. The course is a single lap, low level and undulating, combining lakeshore trails, hard packed rocky sections, grassy tracks and woodland singletrack. The initial section along the western shoreline of Crummock Water is generally wet and rough underfoot and is described as more technical, while the later section uses firmer, hard packed trails. The route will be fully marked so navigation experience is not required.
The event is licensed by the Trail Running Association with permit pending and is held under UK Athletics rules. The minimum entry age is 17 years. Entry is limited to 200 places; the listing shows available places at the time of publication. The organiser is Fellside Events Ltd., based in Carlisle.
Facilities at Race HQ in Buttermere Village include water points, toilets and baggage storage. There are no distance markers, no changing facilities and no showers. Entry fees are shown as £28 for affiliated runners and £30 for unaffiliated runners; if the event has not sold out, on the day entry may be available for an additional £2. The event is not suitable for wheelchairs. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
