Allithwaite 8

The Allithwaite 8 is a well-established running event taking place in the picturesque Cartmel peninsula of the southern Lake District. Covering approximately 8 miles (13 km) with a mix of trail, fell, and road, the race features an ascent of around 1080 ft (330m). This friendly local event, now in its 8th year, encourages participants aged 16 and over, with various prizes for top finishers and age categories.

The race starts at the Allithwaite Community Centre, where participants can find amenities like toilets and refreshments. Entry fees support local causes, and runners are encouraged to bring their own water to minimize plastic waste. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
