Stickle Grind 650
Stickle Grind 650 is a vertical uphill race based at Lanty Slees Stickle Barn near Ambleside in the Lake District. The event covers 2.4 km of uphill trails with 650 m of ascent to the summit of Harrison Stickle. It is organised in partnership with Lanty Slees and the National Trust as part of the Rab Scafell Skyrunning weekend and takes place on 4 June 2027.
The marked route starts in front of Stickle Barn, follows the main footpath on the east side of Stickle Ghyll to Stickle Tarn, includes a short scramble and a crossing of stepping stones, then ascends a well marked trail on the western side of the ghyll to reach the eastern flanks and the rocky summit of Harrison Stickle. A manned checkpoint is located near Stickle Tarn and the route returns on the same marked trail for the descent.
The event includes a professional safety officer and supporting safety team provided by Mountain Run, and is delivered by a professional events team. Facilities at Lanty Slees Stickle Barn include post-race music in the barn and grounds. Entry fee is £15.00 and the minimum age for entry is 16 years. The race takes place within a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
