Lake District Ultra Challenge

Take on England’s most iconic National Park with this stunning Ultra Challenge offering distances from 10km up to the full 100km. Join more than 1,500 Challengers walking, jogging, and running on spectacular Lake District trails all whilst fundraising for your favourite charity. 

Set out from basecamp in Kendal, over the Garburn Pass to the charming town of Ambleside. Relax and refresh at your 50km point on the shores of Lake Windermere, before full 100km Challengers set out towards Newby Bridge and Cartmel, before heading back to their finish line in Kendal. 

Join as an individual or as a team and get ready to experience full support every step of the way. Regular Rest Stops packed with food and drink, hot meals, fully marked routes, massage and medical care, marshals on course and walking the route with you, and of course an unbeatable community. There’s even camping/accommodation options and transfers for all Challengers available so you can plan your whole weekend smoothly.

Join the UK’s #1 Series of treks & trail runs in 2027, and push yourself further with the Lake District Ultra Challenge.

All distance options have Charity or Self Fund options.
