Staveley Trail Event
Staveley is a trail running event at Staveley Recreation Ground, provisionally set for Saturday 1 May 2027. The event offers marked and marshalled trail routes that run above the Kentmere valley and return through valley tarns and ancient woodland, with a climb up Reston Scar and a descent back into Staveley village. Underfoot conditions vary and include short tarmac, grassy footpaths, stony bridleways and some stiles near the finish.

The half marathon route goes over Green Quarter Fell, past Skeggles Water and into Longsleddale, with a feedstation before Kentmere. The 10K and half marathon include a final climb known locally as The Sting in the Trail. The final climb on the 10K and half marathon uses private land; recce runs on that section are not permitted. An alternative route adds approximately 500m to the 10K and half marathon this year.
Facilities and rules include on-site registration and baggage storage, event T shirts and merchandise stalls, a professional photographer, and portable toilets. Water stations are provided (10K at about 7k; half marathon at about 12k and 17.5k) and drinking water will be available at the finish; competitors are asked to bring a reusable cup. For safety and animal welfare, dogs are not allowed, in ear headphones are banned, and competitors must close gates behind them. Race numbers must be worn horizontally to ensure timing chips read correctly. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
