Keswick Mountain Festival

Keswick Mountain Festival - 15–17 May 2026

Keswick Mountain Festival is an outdoors sports festival that runs over three days. The programme combines sporting events with live music, a speaker programme, an exhibitor village and food and drink stalls. Sports listed include swim, bike, run, hike, triathlon and adventure events. The site also references camping and Away Days as part of the offering.

The festival provides a branded expo area with exhibitors, bars and activities alongside scheduled speakers and live music. Practical information pages cover tickets, camping, exhibitor applications, travel and parking, an accommodation finder, frequently asked questions, results and gift cards.

Volunteer and marshal roles are invited with no previous experience required. Marshals receive an event memento plus food and drink and sign-up and contact information are made available by the organisers.

Safety measures are described for swim events, including substantial on water safety cover, water temperature checks on race morning and competitor briefings. The site advises people with immune suppression or ill health to avoid entering swim events. A qualified first aid team will be on site and competitors are asked to act sensibly about medical conditions and to seek assistance if unwell.

Sustainability steps include stopping single use feed station cups and asking attendees to bring personal hydration systems or collapsible cups. Entrants may opt out of event T shirts with the equivalent cost donated to a selected charity. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
