Course and rules

The event uses forest roads and trails around Whinlatter and includes the original route to the summit of Seat How. There are two route options:

  • 8K (5 miles) with about 360 m of ascent, reaches the summit of Seat How and returns via forest roads and trails to the visitors centre.
  • 5K (3 miles) with about 240 m of ascent, it avoids Seat How and joins the second half of the longer course.

Some sections on the Seat How route are narrower and steeper; on that route only one dog per runner is allowed and dogs must run in a suitable harness. Harnesses are available to borrow from Non Stop Dog Wear. Runners may also compete without dogs. There are no cut-offs and participants may walk parts of the course.
