Lake District Challenge

  • Date and Time info: 10/06/2023 - 11/06/2023
  • Registration fee: £45
  • Fundraising target: £595
  • Face-to-face

Walk, jog, or run the Lake District Challenge and take on England’s finest countryside at your own pace. Test yourself on a fantastic Ultra Challenge – suitable for all experience levels – and you’ll get the best support & hospitality all the way.

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 enroute – before a huge welcome and celebration back at base camp after a momentous journey.

Challenge yourself for Retina UK with full 100km challenge, half and quarter distance options available including a two day 100km daylight option.
