About the race
Race The Tide is a one of a kind 10 km obstacle race held in the Lake District, with the route starting and finishing in the gardens of historic Muncaster Castle. The course runs through wild, natural terrain where participants crawl through mud, wade across rivers, take on man-made obstacles, and scramble to the tops of wooded hillsides.
The event is presented as a weekend programme. A weekender ticket includes access to Muncaster Castle, camping for the weekend, race entry, a Saturday night dinner and a ceilidh. The weekend programme also offers castle tours, bird displays and a weapons hall among other on site activities.
The race began in 2013 and has become an annual tradition. It has grown to over 300 runners each year while retaining an informal, locally connected atmosphere. The organising committee is made up of volunteers with direct connections to the family who live at the castle or to the local area.
The event welcomes a variety of participants including athletes, families and people who bring their dogs. Costume running is encouraged but not required. Accommodation options on site include Muncaster’s campsite and indoor rooms in the Coachman’s quarters. The venue is in Muncaster, Ravenglass, Cumbria.
