Blencathra Marathon
The Blencathra Marathon is a challenging 26.5-mile fell and trail running event held in Caldbeck, UK. Featuring nearly 6,000 feet of elevation gain, the circular route includes summits of five Wainwright fells: Bowscale Fell, Blencathra, Mungrisdale Common, Knott, and High Pike. Suitable for experienced runners and walkers, the marathon offers a 12-hour cutoff and is fully GPS tracked.
Participants enjoy water and snack stations along the course, with hot drinks and refreshments at the finish. The event emphasizes environmental responsibility, including options to plant trees instead of receiving a finisher’s t-shirt. Trophies are awarded across male, female, and non-binary categories.
