Blisco Dash

The Blisco Dash is an informal summer race organized by Ambleside AC, typically held on Wednesday evenings. With a modest entry fee of £1, the event features a unique prizegiving where slower runners receive more prizes, often in the form of small bottles of inexpensive French beer. This year, the race has gained prominence as a British Championship event, featuring separate races for men and women.

The challenging 8km route includes steep climbs and descents, culminating at the summit of Pike of Blisco. Participants are encouraged to enjoy the post-race camaraderie at the Old Dungeon Ghyll pub. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
