Join 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.
Our Challenge Base Camp is in Kendal. From there it’s a 100km anticlockwise loop
taking in a couple of tough hills, Ambleside, a half way point by Lake Windermere,
forests, and nature reserves – with some stunning views enroute – before a huge welcome
and celebration back at Base Camp after a momentous journey.

An excellent experience from start An amazing event, extremely well
to finish. The route was brilliantly organised with fantastic, enthusiastic staff.
marked out, the food was gorgeous and So much support, food, drink and tonnes of
plentiful, the staff couldn’t have been information available if you ever had any
more helpful and supportive if they questions. I’ve done lots of different races and
tried, a wonderful event that I can’t this ranks as one of the best. It was tough but
praise highly enough. so worth it...a little bit sad it’s over.
