Lake District Running Festival
Saturday, 5 June 2027 to Sunday, 6 June 2027
Grasmere, Ambleside, Cumbria, UK
The Lake District Running Festival from 5 to 6 June 2027 offers 2 days of fully way-marked trail running and nordic walking for all the family.
Saturday's events include a 5.7km, 10km or 17km trail run and a 10km Nordic walk. Sunday includes the 42km Trail Marathon. All courses are set in the spectacular surroundings of Grasmere and Rydal Water in the Lake District National Park, a World Heritage Site.
Saturday also sees the start of the Grasmere 24 Hour Ultra - where runners see how far they can go in 24 hours on a stunning 5km loop around Grasmere, set against the dramatic backdrop of the Lake District fells. Run solo or in a team of up to four runners (with only one runner on the course at any time). The goal is simple: complete as many laps as you can before the clock runs out.
Saturday also includes events for the Kids - a 1-mile Fun Run, perfect for kids under 12 years, and the Teddy Dash, which is open to teddy bears (and other animals) of any age accompanied by a child under 5 years.
The Lake District Running Festival also includes the OMM Lite Adventure Race events over the same weekend. It's a very friendly weekend with camping, retail, talks, workshops, bar and catering on site.
