Our KMF 50km ultra marathon is fast becoming a classic in the calendar of ultra running
enthusiasts, this fantastic course takes in some of the best trails and views that the
Watendlath, Borrowdale, Butteremere and Newlands valleys have to offer. You don’t need to
be an elite runner to complete the course, but make sure you have done the training required,
as it can be a tough day out!
The 50km Trail Ultra Marathon is graded ‘Very Hard’ and one to get into your 2023 ultra
running calendar if you’re looking for UTMB index points where can you bag points!
The route is a mixture of wide open trails, single track (fast & technical), big long ascents &
fast technical descents, open valley running and very remote trails around the back of the
Buttermere, Crummock Water, and Newlands Valleys. It takes in remote locations that you
will not have run in before. Expect to be blown away by the views of the 4 valleys we take
you through & be overwhelmed by the quality of running you will be immersed in. This race
is not only tough, but is also one of the most scenic races of its type in the Lake District,
taking mountains and lowlands in its stride offering you one of the best trail running
experience in the country!
Ascent: 1995m
