Lake District Challenge

Join the Lake District Challenge and take on England's finest countryside at your pace. Test yourself on a fantastic Ultra Challenge - suitable for all experience levels - and you'll get the best support and hospitality all the way.

Our Challenge Base Camp is in Kendal. From there it's a 100km anticlockwise loop taking in a couple of tough hills, Ambleside, a half way point by Lake Windermere, forests, and nature reserves - with some stunning views en route - before a huge welcome and celebration back at Base Camp after a momentous journey.

With 10km, 25km and 50km distance options also available - there's a challenge here for everyone! So sign up today, either as an individual or in a team and prepare for a beautiful experience that you’ll never forget!
