The Keswick to Barrow (K2B) walk is an annual Lake District event. Teams of 4 to 12 members take on either the 40 mile K2B or 21.1 mile Coniston to Barrow (C2B) route. This is a sponsored walking or running event with participants raising vital funds for approved charities including ourselves. On average, it takes runners 4 hours to complete the course and walkers finish in 8 -12 hours, giving you plenty of time to take in the beautiful views. Along the route there are 8 official timing checkpoints, as well as food and drink stations, first aid and support.
How do I get involved?
All walkers commit to pay a £15 (£10 for Under 17) non-refundable and non-transferrable entry processing fee, and to raise target donations of £80 (£40 for Under 17) (excluding Gift Aid). Please note this is a third party event, Eden Valley Hospice and Jigsaw holds no responsibility over the running of the day.
