  • The Bob Graham Round is one of the UK’s most iconic mountain and fell-running challenges. First completed in 1932 by Bob Graham at the age of 42, the route links 42 Lakeland peaks in a single continuous loop.
    Covering roughly 66 miles (106 km) and climbing close to 27,000 ft (8,200 m), it’s a serious undertaking that demands strength, endurance, and confident movement over rough mountain terrain.
    The round traditionally starts and finishes at the Moot Hall in Keswick, and runners can tackle it either clockwise or anti-clockwise. To complete the Bob Graham Round in its classic form, all 42 summits must be visited within 24 hours— a benchmark that has become a legendary test of fitness, resilience, and mountain skill.
