Buttermere Trail Race
Buttermere, United Kingdom • 22 Mar 2026
Set in the Buttermere Valley, the Buttermere Trail Race is a 20-kilometre circular trail around the shores of Buttermere and Crummock Water, framed by dramatic fells. The route suits all abilities, with the course fully marked so no navigation is required. It blends lakeside trails, hard-packed rocky sections, grassy tracks and woodland singletrack, starting with a more technical western shoreline that tends to be wetter, then moving to easier hard-packed trails. The event, licensed by the Trail Running Association (permit pending) and run under UK Athletics rules, offers facilities such as water stations, toilets and baggage storage. Entry: £28 affiliated, £30 unaffiliated; capacity 200. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
