Take on England’s finest countryside at your pace! Challenge basecamp is in Kendal, and it’s a 100km looped route taking in a couple of tough hills, the Garburn Pass, historic Ambleside, a half way point by Lake Windermere, forests & nature reserves – with some stunning views en-route – before a huge welcome & celebration back at basecamp after a momentous journey. You’ll get full support & hospitality all the way, optional camping / hostel accommodation – and with 50km half, marathon, quarter & 10K distance options also – there’s a Lake District Challenge for everyone!
