Nav4 Tour de Helvellyn

The NAV4 Tour de Helvellyn is a challenging winter ultra run, taking place annually on the shortest Saturday before Christmas. Covering approximately 38 miles around Helvellyn, the route features significant elevation gains and is primarily on mountain trails and bridleways. This event emphasizes self-reliance and navigational skills, as it is unmarked and requires participants to be experienced in winter hill running.

With limited entries to around 200, the event is designed for competent runners only, ensuring a low-key atmosphere with minimal support. Participants can enjoy post-race refreshments, including tea, coffee, and the famous 'Joe's Soup.'. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
