Lowther Lakeland Fell & Trail Run

The Lowther Lakeland Fell & Trail Race is a scenic 13-mile running event held near Lowther Castle, Askham, just south of Penrith in the UK. Featuring about 1,400 feet of ascent, the fully marked course crosses Askham Fell and the Lowther Valley, combining roughly 3 miles of tarmac with grassy tracks and about 2 miles of rough pasture. Highlights include a river ford across the River Lowther and two SPORTident timing stations.

The route offers varied terrain, favoring trail shoes, and requires runners to carry lightweight rain protection. Organized by volunteers, all proceeds support Eden Valley Hospice, making it a community-focused and challenging trail race. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
