The Saunders Lakeland Mountain Marathon takes place on Sat 4 Jul 2026 in the Central Lake District. The exact venue will be announced with final details one month before the event. It is a two-day mountain marathon for teams of two, with navigation around a mountainous course on each day. Courses vary each year and include both linear and score formats, with competition within each course. Starts are staggered.

The event requires experience of walking or running and navigating in the hills. Junior races are available for those aged 14 and over when accompanied by an adult. The minimum age depends on class. The organisers state that courses vary each year, so course records are not considered relevant.
