The Montane Lakeland 50 & 100, scheduled for July 25–27, 2025, is a renowned ultra-distance trail running event set in the picturesque Lake District, UK. The 100-mile race, known as the "Ultra Tour of the Lake District," starts and finishes in Coniston, forming a clockwise loop through areas like Eskdale, Wasdale, and Buttermere, with approximately 6,856 meters of ascent. The 50-mile race begins at Dalemain Estate and follows the latter half of the 100-mile course, concluding in Coniston, and includes around 3,069 meters of ascent. Both races are unmarked, requiring participants to possess strong navigation skills and carry essential gear. The 100-mile race has a 40-hour time limit, while the 50-mile race must be completed within 24 hours. With a high dropout rate, these races are a true test of endurance and resilience.
