Lake District Ultra Challenge

Looking for a challenge – to test yourself, to get in shape, or bond with friends on a weekend adventure?

If so, an Ultra Challenge is for you – and you don’t need to be a budding elite athlete – they’re for everyone, take it on at your pace! Whether along stunning coastlines, or trails through wonderful countryside, your Ultra Challenge will be unforgettable – with full support all the way, camaraderie, an amazing sense of achievement, and all in support of Eden Valley Hospice and Jigsaw.

Walk, Jog or Run at YOUR pace on the Lake District Ultra Challenge. Join 35,000 others of all ages & take on an unforgettable Challenge in 2025! It will be rewarding, fun, and absolutely achievable with your resolve and determination alongside first class support. There’s regular rest stops with free food & drink, a fully signed route, and a great atmosphere.

Take on England’s finest countryside at your pace. Challenge basecamp is in Kendal, and it’s a 100km loop 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, optional camping / hostel – and with half, marathon, quarter & 10K distance options also, there’s a Lake District Challenge for everyone!
