Route information
This event takes runners through the heart of the Lake District. Both routes follow an anti-clockwise course from Great Langdale to Little Langdale. From here, it's nothing but picturesque views of the hamlets of Skelwith Bridge and Chapel Stile.
Marathon runners will take on two laps of this beautiful course, getting to tackle Blea Tarn and Foulstep twice. Half Marathon runners will complete one lap of what is recognised as one of the toughest road marathons in the UK. Well worth it for the views, the course tackles 1700 ft of elevation.
