The International Mountain Running U18 Cup is the World’s premier competition for Under 18 Mountain Runners.

We are aiming to develop and inspire young people by bringing world class under 18 athletes to race over Loughrigg, a 335m high fell overlooking Lake Windermere. This event would take place on June 20th, 2020.

The cost to host the event will be around £40,000. The major costs are accommodation, food and transport to and from the venue from airports, with specialist race equipment, awards, media, athlete support/paramedic cover etc. adding to the cost. With race partners and sponsorship we're currently at £35,000.

This is a non-profit event with the aim of creating a fantastic weekend of junior fell running, with opportunities to see and meet the best young fell and mountain runners in the world competing in Ambleside.

It would be great if you could help us by contributing towards our target.
