Every year, Buckden Pike is host to the Buckden Pike Fell Race, which is held on the third Saturday in June and coincides with Buckden village gala.
 The race was first run in 1981 on a course designed by Peter Jebb.
 In 1987, Peter altered the course to make it tougher and more interesting and it has remained unchanged ever since and this was the course on which the records were set.
 It has now become a classic race in the fell runners calendar and this is recognised by the fact that it is regularly selected as an English championship race.
 The race record is held by Colin Donnelly who, in 1988, completed the course in a time of 30:51.
The women's record is held by Carol Greenwood who in 1993, finished with a time of 36:32.
