Challenge yourself in 2026 by one of the UK’s most unique ultra events.
From start to summit, you're supported by a crew who knows what it takes — and knows you've got it in you. Encouragement, experience, and energy every step of the way.
APEX events aren't just a physical challenge - it’s a personal one. Whether you’re chasing a comeback, proving something to yourself, or just seeing what’s possible, this is your APEX to find.
Whether it's nine ascents of Helvellyn or 24 hours in The Forge - APEX events will be an unforgettable experience that leave a lasting impression.
We’ve sold out of spaces the last two years in a row. So don’t leave it until the last minute to sign up.
4 Miles. 24 Laps. 24 Hours.
Enter our most relentless event of 2026 that will push the hardest ultra athletes to their limits.
We are truly humbled by the incredible feedback that we get from our events. Each event has built some life-long connections and we are inspired by the stories, connections and personal journeys that our competitors go on.
Last year’s event had some absolutely incredible moments – from the ultra-pros giving it their all for a shot at the grand prize, to personal breakthroughs and emotional moments on the side of the mountain.

APEX is the UK’s foremost endurance hiking challenge, where a vibrant community of adventurers seeks to push their limits and conquer their own ‘Everest’.
By far the best event I have taken part in, there was a real buzz in the air for people to complete the event or just complete their personal challenge. If the APEX Team can create such magic in their first year you just know their second year is going to be something special and I can't wait to be part of it.
