St Sunday Sky Race
Glenridding, United Kingdom • 18 Jul 2026
St Sunday Sky Race
The St Sunday Sky Race is a mountain trail event in the Lake District, based around St Sunday Crag and the surrounding eastern fells near Patterdale. The course covers 29 km with approximately 2050 m of ascent and uses technical mountain trails that include sections from the former Lakes Sky Ultra alongside additional route variations.
The event features a fully marked course, five manned checkpoints and one fully supplied feed station. Electronic timing and a GPRS tracker are provided by Open Tracking. A professional safety officer and a supporting safety team are present for the race. Post race provisions include soup with vegan and gluten free options.
The race is presented as a classic sky race distance intended to introduce participants to skyrunning terrain in the English Lake District without the longer ultra elements. The route offers mountain ridgelines and fell running terrain and provides exposure to central and eastern fells while remaining shorter than longer ultras. The event is organised by Lake District Sky Trails and is held within a designated UNESCO World Heritage area. Minimum age to enter is 18 and the entry fee is listed at £120. Event terms, cancellation policy and optional purchase of entry protection are available for entrants. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
