Lakeland Trails at Ullswater
This event stages trail running on the eastern shore of Ullswater with the venue at Jenkin's Field in Glenridding. Runners may travel to the far side of the lake by steamer to start, and there are two contingency routes if boats cannot sail. The alternative 14k route includes a climb to Boredale Hause.
Courses are well marked and marshalled and include scenic trails with short sections of tarmac, rocky and rooty ground, and some road crossings where runners should take care. There are no water stations on course so competitors must carry their own water and cup. Medics and Patterdale Mountain Rescue will be present.
