Grasmere Sports

Sunday 30th August 2026

Now one of the most popular traditional events in the English Lake District, participants compete in a variety of sports, including Cumberland & Westmorland Wrestling, Fell Running, Tug of War, Paragliding, a Dog Show, and Hound Trails.

The annual Grasmere Lakeland Sports has been a regular event for over 150 years but, although we celebrate tradition we have embraced modernity. For the first time this year, runners of all ages are encouraged to enter the Guides Races online.
