Nav4 Tour de Helvellyn
Askham, United Kingdom • 20 Dec 2025
Nav4 Tour de Helvellyn is a classic winter mountain ultra running event based from Askham in the Lake District. The tough circuit around Helvellyn covers about 38 miles with roughly 2,000 metres of ascent and descent, mostly on mountain trails and bridleways. The route is unmarked and demanding, requiring strong navigational and winter hill-running skills; entrants must be self-reliant with minimal on-course support and no spectators at checkpoints.
Entry is capped at around 200 runners. Registration and kit checks take place at Askham Community Centre, finish is back there, with hot drinks, “Joe's Soup” and cake. Campervans welcome; trackers are used for safety and timing. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
