Back for the 8th year, the Lakes Sky Ultra is the most technically demanding ultra marked sky race the Lake District has ever seen. Entries are not vetted so you just need to be an experienced runner to tackle this ultra-distance route, taking in some of the airiest ridges the Lake District can offer. Classified by Skyrunning UK as a "Sky Extra" race, Lakes Sky Ultra is officially one of the most extreme ultra events in the UK calendar for 2022.

Scafell Sky Race was the UK National Team qualifying race for the Skyrunning World Championships 2018.
