Welcome to The Altra 13 Valleys Ultra
The Altra 13 Valleys Ultra will welcome over 3,000 runners to the Lake District this September, each with their own story and their own reason for standing on the start line. Much like the trail itself, established as a year-round walking route, every journey will have its own highs and lows. This event is a celebration: of the training, hard work and sacrifice that gets you to the start line, and of the extraordinary landscape that makes the Lake District one of the world’s greatest places to explore on foot. Whether you’re returning for another year, stepping up to a new distance, or joining the 13 Valleys community for the very first time, our aim is simple: to send you home with memories that last a lifetime and the desire to come back for more. Since the first edition of the event, we’ve experienced everything the Lakes can throw at us. Crystal-clear sunrises, blanket cloud, driving rain, unforgettable sunsets, high winds forcing route changes, and still waters welcoming runners to the start. Every year is different, but that’s part of what makes the adventure so special. From registration to the finish line, our incredible volunteers, mountain safety teams and, of course, Freddos, will be there whenever you need them. Whether it’s a word of encouragement at a feed station, support on a fell top or a well- earned chocolate frog when the going gets tough, the entire event is designed to help you succeed.
What will you become?
