Fancy a sponsored jog in the park? There are just two caveats: the jog covers 180km and the park in question is the Lake District. When an event describes itself as “an exceptional physical and mental challenge”, it’s a fairly sure sign that it’s going to be demanding — and in the case of the 13 Valleys Ultra, that’s exactly the point.
You could help us change young lives forever. Take part in an epic ultra marathon event in the stunning landscape of the Lake District National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Be one of the first to take on the 13 Valleys Ultra and take your place on the start line.
Taking place on the weekend of Friday 29th September to Sunday 1st October, the event includes not only the headline 13 Valleys route but also three shorter races, across 100km, 60km and 20km respectively. All four promise spectacular Lakeland scenery and plenty of ascent and descent, as well as all the requisite waymarks, checkpoints and feeding stations. YHA has fundraising places in each of the distances and is also the event’s official accommodation partner.
