Stickle Grind 650

Experience the thrill of vertical racing at the iconic Lanty Slees venue as part of the Rab Scafell Skyrunning weekend. This unique race, presented in partnership with the National Trust, offers runners an unforgettable challenge on June 4, 2027.
The course begins right outside Stickle Barn and immediately ascends along the eastern side of Stickle Ghyll via a well-trodden footpath. After a brief scramble, participants cross over to the west side by leaping across stepping stones before pushing onward toward the breathtaking summit of Harrison Stickle. Along the way, runners will encounter a manned checkpoint at Stickle Tarn for an essential energy boost.
The final push up to Harrison Stickle's rocky peak is demanding but short-lived, rewarding climbers with panoramic views and a satisfying finish line. Descending follows the same marked route, allowing participants to cheer on their fellow racers as they tackle this formidable ascent.
This race promises a mix of technical terrain and stunning scenery that will test even the most seasoned runners.
