Sabre XXIII Weekend 9
Sedbergh, United Kingdom • 17 May 2025
Sabre XXIII Weekend 9 is a challenging 25.5 km event held in the scenic Howgill Fells, featuring a demanding 1500m elevation gain comparable to the Yorkshire Three Peaks but in half the distance. The route, originally used by the 23 SAS for training, is fully waymarked and includes a mix of fell terrain, tracks, and footpaths. Participants can choose from three categories: loaded (carrying weight), runner/clean fatigue (running without weight but carrying mandatory safety kit), and walker/unloaded. The event emphasizes self-sufficiency with staffed checkpoints for safety checks. Finishers receive a patch and a celebratory pint, supported by a professional mountain safety and medical team.
