Stickle Grind 650

Stickle Grind 650 is a short vertical race from Lanty Slees Stickle Barn to the summit of Harrison Stickle in the Lake District. The event takes place on 5 June 2026 and is run in partnership with Lanty Slees and the National Trust. The course covers 2.4 km of uphill trail with 650 m of ascent. The minimum age for entry is 16 and the entry fee is £12.50.

The route is fully marked and includes a manned checkpoint. Participants follow the main footpath on the east side of Stickle Ghyll to Stickle Tarn, including a short scramble and a section of stepping stones to gain the west side path. From Stickle Tarn the marked trail climbs the eastern flanks of Harrison Stickle to the rocky summit, with the same route used for descent.

Event services include a professional safety officer and safety team provided by Mountain Run and a professional events team. Finishers receive a recycled papier-mâché wild flower seed medal. The event is part of the Rab Scafell Skyrunning weekend and features live music and social facilities at Lanty Slees Stickle Barn. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
