St Sunday Sky Race 2027
The St Sunday Sky Race is a classic distance skyrunning event in the English Lake District scheduled for 17 July 2027. The route covers 29 km with 2050 m ascent around St Sunday Crag and the surrounding Eastern Fells, using technical mountain trails and sections adapted from the old Lakes Sky Ultra.
The race is based in Patterdale and takes place within the Lake District UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is presented as an entry level sky race for runners who want experience of skyrunning terrain without the ultra distance or extreme elements.
The event offers a fully marked course, electronic timing and a GPRS tracker by Open Tracking, one fully supplied feed station plus five manned checkpoints, a professional safety officer and supporting safety team delivered by Mountain Run, post race Voom Recovery, and an eco medal. The organiser describes the event as professionally planned by an experienced team.
Entry requires a minimum age of 18 years. Entry fees start at £100 and increase to £110 from 01/12/2026 and to £120 from 01/04/2027. Entries close on 4 July 2027. The event provides marked mountain trails and staffed safety points on a technical course through central and eastern Lake District fells.
