Blisco Dash

The Blisco Dash is an informal summer race organized by Ambleside AC, typically held on Wednesday evenings. This year, it has gained prominence as a British Championship race, featuring separate men's and women's events. The race covers an 8km route with a challenging ascent and descent of Pike of Blisco, starting from the Old Dungeon Ghyll Hotel.

Participants are encouraged to possess navigational skills, as the course can be tricky, especially in poor weather. The event fosters a community spirit, with a low entry fee and unique prizes, including small bottles of beer for slower runners. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
