13 Valleys Ultra Event Guide

Welcome to Altra 13 Valleys Ultra

The Altra 13 Valleys Ultra will see 2,500 runners descend on the Lake District in late September, all with their own story, all on their own journey.

Much like the trail itself, established as a year-round walking route, those journeys will have their own highs and lows. The event itself as a celebration; A celebration of the training, hard work and sacrifice that gets you to the start line, and a celebration of the landscape and all that the Lake District has to offer. Whether you are coming back for a third year, maybe on a third distance (as an exclusive club of just 16 are), or this is your first time joining the 13 Valleys community, we want to send you away with life long memories made – and an urge to come back for more. The two stagings of the event to date have seen everything from low cloud, to breathtakingly clear nights, high winds preventing us summiting High Street to Windermere resplendent as mill pond for the 7 and 5 Valley starts. Our army of volunteers, safety teams and Cadbury’s Freddos will be there whenever you need them. Be that at registration, a feed station or a fell top, rest assured the event is built for you to succeed, and to see what you will become…
