About the Event

Challenge yourself in one of the UK's most breathtaking and lesser-known mountain landscapes. The Montane Howgill Fells Trail 10, 13 & 26, held on Sunday, 12 April 2026, offers three stunning distances—10km, Half Marathon (13mi), and Marathon (26mi)—starting from the picturesque village of Sedbergh in Cumbria. This popular event showcases the raw, rolling beauty of the Howgill Fells, featuring vast grassy slopes, deep valleys, and panoramic views that feel truly remote. With fully marked and timed courses, well-stocked feed stations, and a generous 7.5-hour cut-off, it is an epic but accessible adventure for trail runners of all abilities, from those seeking a scenic introduction to fell running to seasoned ultra-athletes. Renowned for its friendly atmosphere and incredible scenery, this race promises a challenging, rewarding, and unforgettable day on the fells, culminating in a well-earned custom finisher's medal.

About Sedbergh

Sedbergh is a town in Cumbria, with a population of 1500 in 2021. It's in the valley of the River Rawthey, which flows into the Lune two miles west. In Old English "setberg" means a flat-topped hill, and it's a base for walking the gritstone moors. In 2016 the Yorkshire Dales National Park was extended west to include Lonsdale, and now forms a continuous tract with the Lake District National Park.
