Community Traverse - Lakes Crossing
The Lakes 100KM is a point to point ultra across the Lake District following Wainwright’s Coast to Coast route, running from St Bees to Shap. The route includes coastal paths, steep climbs, rocky descents and mountain terrain. Sections are way marked but may not be sufficient for navigation on their own. Weather and conditions can vary significantly.
Structured checkpoints are placed along the route, with key locations including Ennerdale, Borrowdale, Patterdale and Shap. Checkpoints will provide water, hot food with vegan and gluten free options, snacks and race nutrition, indoor access, toilet facilities and first aid support. A bag drop service will transfer bags from the start to the finish.
The event has an overall cut off of 30 hours. Participants who fall behind cut off pace may be withdrawn for safety reasons; individual checkpoint cut offs will be published in the final race pack. Live tracking is used for all participants and trackers must be returned. A mandatory kit list applies and final route details, a GPX file and full checkpoint breakdown will be issued in advance.
Entry information notes a minimum age of 20, an entry fee of £95, entries open on 27 April 2026 and close on 1 March 2027. The event is registered with ITRA and finishers earn ITRA endurance points. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
