Grasmere

50 years of Lake District running
One unforgettable weekend

The Grasmere Gallop Trail Races (40 years old) and OMM Lite Trail Quest (10 years old) join together to create an epic weekend celebrating off-road running in the Lake District.

The festival aims to bring together trail runners, ultra runners, fell runners & orienteers of all abilities in an iconic location to race, relax & enjoy being on stunning trails.

Great routes, good food, and a chance to hear about the latest developments in the sport make it a must-attend weekend for anyone who loves the outdoors. 

A running location Like no other

The picturesque & historic village of Grasmere in the heart of the Lake District provides an incredibly unique basecamp to run, walk & camp from all weekend.

Surrounded by the 3000ft fells, you will run some of the most stunning trails in the country that inspired the works of William Wordsworth, Enid Blyton & Alfred Wainwright. It really is a special place to explore!
