St Sunday Sky Race
The St Sunday Sky Race is a mountain running event in Patterdale on 18 July 2026. The route covers 29 km with 2050 m of ascent on technical trails around St Sunday Crag and the surrounding central and eastern fells in the Lake District UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The course is fully marked and includes one fully supplied feed station and five manned checkpoints. Electronic timing and a GPRS tracker are provided by Open Tracking. A professional safety officer and a supporting safety team are present for the event, and planning and delivery are managed by the organiser Lake District Sky Trails.
The route uses parts of the old Lakes Sky Ultra supplemented by additional sections, omitting the ultra and extreme elements. It is presented as a classic sky race distance intended as an entry level sky event that exposes runners to ridge and fell running without the longer ultra distances.
Entry details from the organiser note a minimum age of 18 and an entry fee of £120. The event information lists the option to purchase event protection cover and provides terms and cancellation policies. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
