You should be able to cover 10–12 km over hilly terrain without rest. For ultra-level routes, we’ll ask for recent distance logs and pace files.
Trail Running Tours isn’t a sightseeing holiday disguised as training. We don’t cater to Instagram runners or weekend warriors chasing the perfect backdrop. Our running tours are for people who want real foot-on-rock, sweat-in-eyes, hamstrings-firing fell efforts across Cumbria’s hardest ground.
Whether you’re preparing for the Helvellyn Sky Ultra or testing your legs on segments of the Bob Graham Round, we provide serious guided runs in the Lake District. With decades spent across these fells, we know where the bogs swallow shoes and which descents toast your quads.
This is real fell-running. Routes customized to ability. Terrain knowledge that matters. Recovery built into every block. All backed by gear support, pacing structure, and performance insights that turn every outing into a serious session.
We work with a range of runners—from those increasing aerobic output to sub-elite athletes managing lactate levels. Each route is led by mountain-qualified guides who know the ground and pace like it’s second nature. There’s no fluff—just effort that builds results.

Because we don’t offer routes—we build training systems. Our coaches have prepped elite trail runners, supported FKT attempts, and guided hundreds through Cumbria’s most brutal terrain.
We know what 15% gradient feels like after 30km, when to back off into wind on Helvellyn, and how to spot bad nav lines in mist over Blencathra. We’re not part-time guides doing this for tourism. We’re fell runners based in the Lake District, training here all year.
You get real knowledge. Specific session planning. And support from people who’ve done the work.
Running the Lake District isn’t just about miles—it’s about proving you can handle the ground. Whether you’re hunting a PB, prepping for an ultra, or tuning race form, we’ve got a block that fits.
