Rab Scafell Sky Race is scheduled for 6 June 2026 and is based in the central Lake District at Lanty Slees Stickle Barn. The route covers 38 km with 2800 m of ascent. The event uses technical single-track trails and sections of scree across Lakeland fells and valleys, and the course includes a summit of England’s highest mountain.

Entrants must be at least 19 years old on race day. Entries are not formally vetted; by entering competitors attest to their competence to complete the course and may be expelled if they deliberately misrepresent their experience or ability.
Included in the entry fee are a fully marked course, two fully supplied feed stations and mountain manned checkpoints, electronic timing and tracking from Open Tracking, a professional safety officer and safety team, a finishers’ Seed Bomb Medal, live music, and a ranking for Skyrunning UK as part of the Skyrunner National Series for the UK and Ireland.
