Lake District Challenge
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 and 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 en route, you'll reach a huge welcome and celebration back at Base Camp after a momentous journey. Half and Quarter distance options also available!
