Lake District Ultra Challenge

Take on England’s finest countryside at your own pace. The challenge basecamp is in Kendal, and then it’s a 100km anticlockwise loop. You'll be treated to some stunning views en route including the Garburn Pass, historic Ambleside, a halfway point by Lake Windermere, forests and nature reserves and a couple of tough hills.

On signing up you'll receive full support and hospitality, optional camping/hostel accommodation, and with a half, a new marathon, quarter & 10 K distance options also, there’s a Lake District Challenge for everyone!

Keeping you well fed and hydrated is key to getting across that finish line successfully and safely. Whichever distance you are signed up for, every meal and snack stop is included in your entry so you can expect:

• Regular snack stops every 12.5 km
• Meal/ food every 25 km
• Hot drinks, water & energy drinks at all stops 
• Catering for every dietary requirement
• Menus published before the challenge.

Once you've reached your goal and crossed over the finish line you will be given a medal, finisher’s t-shirt, glass of fizz and a photo finish! Before being guided to a finishers meal, drinks & a well earned sit down and rest. 

Ultra Challenge operate shuttles to and from the nearest train station for anyone needing onward travel after their challenge, the majority of our finish lines also have ample parking so your supporters can meet you and pick you up – check the individual event pages for full details.
