POOLEY BRIDGE WILD TRAIL RUNS

Pooley Bridge Wild Trail Runs – June 5th, 2027
Immerse yourself in the breathtaking beauty of Ullswater’s northern tip for an unforgettable day at the Pooley Bridge Wild Trail Runs on Saturday, June 5th, 2027. Nestled within the heart of the Lake District, this event offers runners a chance to explore some of England's most iconic landscapes through two trail running options: a Half Marathon and a 10km run.
Waterside House & Campsite serves as an ideal base for both participants and spectators alike, offering stunning views over Ullswater and easy access to the race routes. The event kicks off with the Half Marathon at 9:30 AM followed by the 10km Trail Run starting promptly at 10:00 AM.
The scenic course winds through picturesque countryside, providing a challenging yet rewarding experience for runners of all levels. Each route offers unique terrain and vistas that highlight the natural beauty of this region. Participants can also enjoy the convenience of on-site parking for just £5 or opt to stay nearby in one of Waterside Farm’s accommodations with its panoramic views.
For those interested in bringing their furry friends along, Cani-Cross is welcomed at Pooley Bridge Wild Trail Runs. Dogs must be well-controlled and remain leashed throughout the event.
Safety is a top priority, so runners are required to carry specific mandatory kit including a backpack or running vest equipped with water supplies, lightweight jacket, fully charged mobile phone, and energy gels for sustenance during their run. Random checks will ensure compliance.
Upon crossing the finish line, all participants can look forward to receiving a bespoke Finisher’s Medal along with Wild Deer merchandise and a snack to help replenish lost energy. An optional custom event t-shirt is available for purchase at £14 during registration.
This year's Pooley Bridge Wild Trail Runs also supports Patterdale Mountain Rescue, a volunteer emergency rescue service dedicated to assisting those in need within the surrounding mountainous terrain of Ullswater Valley and beyond since 1964. Participants can contribute by making donations upon signing up for the event.
Join us on June 5th for an experience that combines athletic challenge with scenic splendor in one of Britain’s most awe-inspiring natural settings.
