Birkinshaw published an account of his run as ''There is No Map in Hell: The Record-Breaking Run Across the Lake District Fells'' (2017, Vertebrate Publishing: ). Birkinshaw's record was broken on 20 June 2019 when Paul Tierney completed the round in 6 days 6 hours 4 minutes. On 12 to 17 June 2021, Sabrina Verjee set a new record of 5 days, 23 hours and 49 minutes. The current record was set by John Kelly on 2 to 7 May 2022 with a time of 5 days, 12 hours and 14 minutes. Following the same route, on 26 August 2021, a team of 27 members of Durham Fell Runners, began what is thought to be the first attempt at a continuous relay of the 214 Wainwright Fells. Running through the night and day, the team completed the round in a time of 4 days, 6 hours and 50 minutes.
