2026 Langdale Marathon
The Langdale Marathon is a severely hilly road marathon run over two laps of the Great and Little Langdale valleys, with 1,035m of climbing, billed as the UK's toughest road marathon. The course starts and finishes at the New Dungeon Ghyll Hotel in Great Langdale and runs on narrow public lanes amid classic Lakeland fell scenery.
Come for the challenge of the fells and stay for the quiet beauty of autumn in the Langdale Valley, where the slopes are brushed with gold and the air is crisp. After the race, warm up with a hearty Cumbrian meal and a pint in a traditional stone-built pub, and take a gentle stroll to one of the valley's hidden waterfalls or tarns.
