SCARPA Great Lakeland 3Day™
A 3-day challenge quite unlike any other
Established in 1998, Joe Faulkner organised eleven Great Lakeland 3Day events until 2009 when he realised: “so perfect was the [2009] event that we reckoned we couldn’t improve on it and decided twelve years was enough.”
Since taking on the event after a two-year hiatus in 2012, Ourea Events have keenly preserved the simple ethos that the event should always be about the route and the challenge and not about the ‘race’.
The event continues to grow and has become quite the ‘bucket list’ bank holiday event to attend in the Lake District.
Mix & match courses
Participants simply enter the event, then choose whichever course they prefer daily. We’ll never repeat the same course twice as the event is held in a different location each year.
unburdened running
A real deal breaker to many participants, we transport participants’ ‘luggage’ while they enjoy three days of glorious Lake District fell-time, unburdened by the weight of their tent, food, and other overnight kit.
A Truly chilled-out weekend
Participants enjoy flexible start windows, complimentary hot drinks, and a choice of the most delicious cakes each day.
