We've been running successful virtual events ever since 'Stay At Home Staveley' in 2020 which had over 500 runners, raised thousands of pounds for charity, and featured many famous trail runners including Damian Hall and Nicky Spinks.

Since then, we've run two virtual events each winter which have attracted a strong following and have led to runners who've met and interacted virtually becoming friends and meeting up in real life our events (and beyond).

New for 2026, we're building on this community by launching the Lakeland Trails Club, an informal group brought together by the love of running on the Lakeland Trails.  The Club is open to runners of all abilities (in the spirit of the Lakeland Trails) and will feature entry to virtual events, discounted entries on Lakeland Trails' events, exclusive merch and discounts from partners.

The Club will be launching in mid-November to allow its members to receive a discount code to get signed up for the 2026 events (entry provisionally opening on Thursday 20th November).  Club members will even save on the discounted earlybird prices (NB - the discount is not valid on the Ultra 55k or 100k).

Membership will be annual, running from January 1st and, as an introductory offer, people signing up before 22nd November 2025 (just before the start of the Virtual Lakeland Trails Ultra) will have their membership valid until the end of 2026.
