Beat the Bounds, Patterdale

Beat The Bounds, Patterdale is a boundary-running event in the Ullswater Valley, Patterdale, Cumbria. Participants choose from four distances: the Full Boundary at 28 miles with about 10,200 ft of ascent; the First Half (16 miles) and Second Half (12 miles); and a 7-mile Minibeat for families. The course follows the parish boundary around the scenic fells, demanding navigation as you cross peaks such as Raise, Helvellyn, Grisedale Tarn and Red Screes.

A rolling start and trackers help safety, with checkpoints offering food and drinks. Proceeds support the local school and church; discounts apply for residents and LDWA members alike. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
