Lake District Challenge

You'll set out from basecamp in Kendal, over the Garburn Pass to the charming town of Ambleside. Relax and refresh at your 50km point on the shores of Lake Windermere, before full 100K challengers set out towards Newby Bridge and Cartmel, then head back to the finish line in Kendal.

Join as an individual or as a team and get ready to experience full support every step of the way.

• Regular rest stops packed with food and drink
