Experience at BME: Adapt and Overcome 2026

Participants will take part in an 'Ultra Fell Marathon' race set in the unpredictable landscape of the fells of Nether Wasdale in collaboration with 'Adapt Outdoors'. This event is engineered for runners who crave chaos, challenge, and the thrill of the unknown. Forget flat roads and gentle trails - this is explosive elevation, technical terrain, and lung-burning climbs that redefine what you think is possible.
