Now in its 11th year this is a classic on the trail race calendar. Incorporating Derwentwater lakeshore trails and the Borrowdale valley, there's a course for everyone.

Make sure to take in all the stunning vistas this route has in abundance. It is a trail runners dream, incorporating everything in terms of scenery and variation of terrain, a key feature of the route is the well-balanced mix of woodland trails, rocky singletracks and a few testing climbs following footpaths and bridleways.

Course

21k Route: From the marina the first section leads through woodland trails to Hawse End Bay on the shores of Derwentwater. The route then follows the lakeshore trail through mixed woodland to the picturesque village of Grange, before winding its way past Castle Crag to Rosthwaite in the heart of the Borrowdale valley.


A steady climb out of Rosthwaite following the bridleway leads to the hamlet of Watendlath. The trail continues along the beautiful Watendlath valley before descending to Ashness Bridge via a short road section.


A singletrack traverse below Falcon Crags is followed by a gradual descent into Great Wood. Cross the Borrowdale road back to the lakeshore past Friars Crag and follow the path skirting the shore of the bay back into the finish at Crow Park.

The route will be fully marked so no navigation experience is necessary.

Entries: Minimum entry age 17 years old.
