Walk, Jog, or Run the Lake District Challenge and take on England's finest countryside at your pace. Test yourself on a fantastic Ultra Challenge - suitable for all experience levels - and you'll get the best support & hospitality all the way.

Take on & enjoy some of England’s finest countryside and scenery at your pace. From our Kendal base-camp the full 100 km route is an anticlockwise loop taking in a few tough hills & fells, Ambleside, Lake Windermere at half way (with hostel accommodation option) nature reserves, and forests – with stunning views en-route. A huge welcome awaits back at base-camp after a momentous challenge!
