Event Overview
The Buttermere Trail Race is a 20 km circular trail race in the Buttermere Valley in Cumbria. The route runs around the shores of Buttermere and Crummock Water.
Course Details
The course is a single lap on undulating, low-level trails. The terrain is a mix of lakeshore paths, hard-packed rocky trails, grassy tracks, and woodland singletrack. The western shoreline of Crummock Water is noted as generally wet and rough underfoot, making the initial section more technical. The second part of the route features more hard-packed trails. The route will be fully marked, so navigation experience is not required. The event has an entry limit of 200 participants.
Event Information
The event is licensed by the Trail Running Association and held under UK Athletics rules. The minimum entry age is 17. Facilities include water stations, toilets, and a baggage store. There are no distance markers, changing facilities, or showers. Race Headquarters is in Buttermere Village. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
