Three Peaks Fell Race - UK

Tackle one of the world's most iconic fell running challenges at the 71st Three Peaks Race on Saturday, 25th April 2026, a legendary 23.3-mile course conquering Yorkshire's Pen-y-ghent, Whernside, and Ingleborough. With a formidable 5,200 feet of ascent, this race is not just a marathon but a true mountain test, earning its reputation as "The Marathon with Mountains" and its place as a UTMB Index and World Mountain Running ranked event. Sponsored by inov-8, the 10:30 am mass start in Horton-in-Ribblesdale sends runners across a mix of rugged footpaths, bogs, and rocky terrain, requiring navigation skills, mountain fitness, and respect for the changeable Pennine weather. Alongside the classic individual race, a popular six-person team relay runs simultaneously over the same epic course, adding a dynamic team element to the day. With a rich 70-year history, strict qualification standards, and a fiercely supportive fell running community, the 2026 edition represents the pinnacle of British mountain racing. Whether you're an elite athlete chasing a sub-three-hour time or a qualified fell runner aiming simply to finish, completing this race is a lifetime achievement in the sport.
