Beyond the Lune Winter Ultra
Beyond the Lune Winter Ultra is a winter trail ultra covering 65 km with 2000 m of ascent on a loop that starts and finishes in the centre of Kirkby Lonsdale at The Barn. The route uses mainly footpaths and bridleways, with about 10 km on tarmac, and passes seven summits and several local landmarks, including a final technical section known as the Radical Steps.
The course is self-navigated; participants must be able to navigate the whole loop using a GPS unit or a map rather than a phone. There are two checkpoints/feed stations on the route where hot food, drinks and water are available.
Mandatory kit, checked at registration, includes a rucksack or race vest, trail shoes, waterproof jacket and waterproof over trousers with taped seams, warm hat, gloves, survival bag, GPS unit plus a backup map or GPS, compass, whistle, small first aid kit, water and food, a long sleeve base layer, and a head torch with spare batteries.
Event provisions listed by the organiser include a GPX file of the route, a start pastry and hot drink, event merchandise, and a finisher beer and pizza. The minimum age is 18. The published entry fee is £45. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
