BOFRA - Ambleside Sports

The Ambleside Sports race, part of the British Open Fell Runners Association (BOFRA) championship, takes place at Rydal Park near Ambleside on the A591. The event features a challenging 1.7-mile (2.7 km) course with an 800-foot (240 meters) climb, including a deceptively tough ascent through bracken paths to a rocky summit outcrop. It caters to various age categories from under 9 to seniors, offering both senior and junior routes.
