Loughrigg Fell Race
Loughrigg Fell Race is an early season evening fell race held on 8 April 2026. The route is a flagged out and back of 6.4 km with 330 metres of ascent, running from Rothay Park in Ambleside to the Loughrigg summit and back. The course includes a steep initial climb on tarmac that soon gives way to a gravel track, two gates on a bridleway, a final gate with a sharp right turn onto open fell, short steep climbs, runnable sections, a pitched path to the summit view and a final scramble to the summit cairn before returning the same way.
Entrants must be 16 or older on the date of the race. Under 18s must be accompanied by a parent or guardian or present a parental consent form. The event follows Fell Runners Association safety requirements; because the route is marked and short, runners do not need to carry a map, compass or emergency food, but all runners must carry FRA kit: waterproof top and bottoms with taped seams, hat, gloves and whistle. There will be a kit check before number collection.
Entries were managed through an online entry system. At the time of listing the event was full and new entries were placed on a waiting list. Entry fees were noted for FRA members and non members. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
