The Rat Race Sea to Summit - Scafell Pike on 5 September 2026 is part of a trilogy of trail ultramarathons to the high points of England, Scotland and Wales.

The Scafell Pike edition is on a 31 mile route in the Lake District, England’s picture-perfect mountain mecca with some of the most beautiful trails in the country.

From the seaside start line, the course heads inland on quiet country lanes, towards the brooding peaks beyond. Hitting the trails in Wasdale, runners trace the shore of the imposing Wast Water before a glorious ascent of Scafell Pike begins. The descent traces a different descent to come full circle back to the coast.

The course is 60% trail and 40% road.
