St Sunday Sky Race

Glenridding, United Kingdom • 18 Jul 2026

St Sunday Sky Race - Patterdale, 18 July 2026

The St Sunday Sky Race is a mountain SkyRace held in Patterdale on 18 July 2026. The course covers approximately 29 km with about 2050 m of ascent, running over St Sunday Crag and surrounding Eastern Fells. The event has a minimum age requirement of 18.

The route uses technical mountain trails and sections of the former Lakes Sky Ultra course with some added sections. It is presented as an entry-level "sky" distance intended to introduce runners to skyrunning terrain without the longer ultra elements. The course includes rocky and technical descents and steep ascents typical of the central and eastern Lakeland fells.

Entries include a fully marked course, electronic timing and GPRS tracking provided by Open Tracking, a professional safety officer and support team, and ITRA/UTMB ranking points. The event provides one fully supplied feed station and multiple manned checkpoints, plus a post-race meal with vegan and gluten-free options. The race takes place within the Lake District, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
