Event Overview
The Keswick Mountain Festival is a three-day event taking place from the 15th to the 17th of May 2026. The festival combines outdoor sports with a celebration of mountain culture.
Sports Programme
The event includes a range of outdoor sports competitions such as swimming, biking, running, hiking, triathlon, and adventure races. For sustainability, single-use cups are not provided at feed stations, so competitors are asked to bring their own hydration system or collapsible cup. Race T-shirts are optional at entry; entrants can decline one and have the equivalent cost donated to a selected charity.
Festival Activities
Alongside the sports events, the festival features live music, guest speakers, a brand expo, bars, and food and drink stalls. Camping is available on-site. The weekend programme also includes exhibits and "Away Days," which are activity days.
Safety and Participation
Substantial water safety cover is provided for swim events, with water temperature checked on the morning of the race. Qualified first-aid teams are onsite. The event relies on volunteers and marshals, who receive an event memento along with food and drink. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
