If you’re looking for a serious challenge, this is it. Inspired by the great sky races of Europe, Rab Helvellyn Sky Ultra™ is one of the most technically demanding course-marked race's the Lake District has ever seen. Entries are NOT vetted for this ultra-distance route, taking in Striding and Swirral Edge's.
Classified by Skyrunning UK as a "Sky Extra" race in 2018, Lakes Sky Ultra is officially the most extreme mountain running event in England.
“An epic, brilliant, bonkers race!” Ellie H, 2017
57km of Lake District paths, trails and rock with 3700m ascent will test your endurance to the limit - but stamina alone won’t get you to the finish line.
You’ll need a good head for heights and nerves of steel: you’re going to traverse three of the most amazing ridge-lines in the Lake District: The bone shaking and very wild ridge of Long Stile Edge and the very alpine and rocky scramble of Swirral Edge and of course the EPIC Striding Edge. We’re talking serious ascent with some distance thrown in and previous race/mountain experience is a must.
