Buttermere Trail Race 2027

A 20 Kilometres trail race based at Buttermere Village, Cumbria, following a single circular route around the shores of Buttermere and Crummock Water. The course is low level and undulating, combining lakeshore trails, hard-packed rocky sections, grassy tracks and woodland singletrack. The western shoreline of Crummock Water contains wetter, rougher ground and is described as the more technical section; the later part of the course follows firmer, hard packed trails. The route will be fully marked so navigation experience is not required.

The event is a one-lap trail race with an entry limit of 200 places and a minimum entry age of 17 years. A Trail Running Association licence is listed as pending and the event is held under UK Athletics rules. Race headquarters are in Buttermere Village, CA13 9XA, and the organiser is Fellside Events Ltd.

Facilities listed for the event include water, toilets and baggage storage. There are no distance markers, no changing facilities and no showers at the venue. Entry fees are shown as £30 unaffiliated and £28 affiliated;, assuming the event does not sell out, entry on the day is noted as available for an additional £2. The event is recorded with past editions and an entry list and results history. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
