Scafell Pike Sea to Summit
The Scafell Pike Sea to Summit is a one day Sea to Summit mountain ultramarathon held as part of the Rat Race National 3 Peaks Trilogy on 4 September 2027. The route covers 33 miles (53 km) with +5600 ft of ascent and is listed under run and trek disciplines for mass participation.
The course starts on the Seascale beachfront and heads inland via quiet country lanes into Wasdale, traces the shore of Wast Water, then ascends Scafell Pike before returning to the coast and finishing at Seascale Sports Hall CA20 1PU. The entire route is fully waymarked with bright orange arrows and is supported by paid professional mountain safety staff at key locations, removing the need to rely on a GPX file.
Medical provision is delivered by a professional team supplied by Trail Med, including paramedics and doctors operating from vehicles and a private ambulance. Pit stops offer water, hot drinks, salty snacks, sweets and fruit, and are intended to supplement participants own nutrition. Cut offs are set to a 3 mph completion pace with checkpoints at roughly 6.5, 14, 20 and 26 miles.
Participants must be over 18 on the day of registration. Parking is provided at an event car park approximately 3 miles from the start with a free shuttle bus to the start line. Finishers receive a Scafell Pike Sea to Summit medal and completing all three Sea to Summit events earns a Trilogy medal. The event holds She RACES accreditation.
