About the Event

Experience the breathtaking beauty of the Lake District National Park as you embark on one of three ultra marathon distances or join the shorter 22km trail race at the 13 Valleys Ultra. This UNESCO World Heritage Site offers an unparalleled setting for runners, with its rolling fells, serene lakes, and picturesque valleys.
Choose from a variety of challenging routes: conquer the grueling 180km course that winds through rugged terrain, or opt for the more manageable but still awe-inspiring 55km or 110km options. Each route is meticulously waymarked to guide you along scenic trails and over mountainous paths.
Fuel stations are strategically placed throughout each distance, ensuring runners stay energized and motivated as they traverse this natural wonderland. For those who wish to share their journey with loved ones back home, a GPS tracker allows real-time tracking online.
Upon crossing the finish line, participants will be rewarded with a stunning slate coaster medal and a commemorative patch crafted locally in the Lake District. These keepsakes serve as mementos of your incredible achievement amidst some of England's most majestic landscapes.
The 13 Valleys Ultra promises an unforgettable adventure for trail runners seeking both challenge and beauty, making it a must-attend event on any serious runner’s calendar.
