The Yomp - Out of Eden 5k
The Out of Eden 5k is part of The Yomp Mountain Challenge, a multi-day event. The Yomp was first run in 1983 and the name comes from a military term for a long march over open terrain. This local event is volunteer-led and raises money for various good causes, with over £110,000 donated to date.
The event takes place in Kirkby Stephen, Cumbria. Basecamp is at The Engine Shed, Pennine View Park. The event is described as having its own distinct character, with routes that include roads and tracks, but the main element is open, exposed fell terrain.
For the 2026 event, online entries for the 5k are scheduled to open nearer to the event date. There is no parking onsite at the venue. Free event parking is available at Station Yard, Kirkby Stephen, which is a short walk away. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
