Montane Trail 26 & 13 Grizedale Forest

One for the bucket list, great organisation, race notes, ease of parking, straight forward registration. A challenging course, undulating, it's in the Lake District so what do you expect? Some spectacular views of the fells and Coniston Water

Great route, tough climbs. I think over 530m ascent. Bit over the top with kit requirement (seems certain people can just ignore kit requirements)

Great event as are all epic events

Love the Lakes and the views and thats why I prefer the trail runs. Tough events but what a place to run. Usually do the Lakeland trail series and usually perform well in these events. Decided to run the Montane 26 as part of my training for Tri X. Found it a challenging course and found it a useful excercise in terms accessing my fitness level. First 13 miles was better than the 2nd for me personally, finished in 4hr 54mins, had in my mind to do 4 hours. Ill be back next year and highly recommend for anyone wanting a different event with fantastic views. Make sure you train though.

Really good course,almost impossible to take a wrong turn ,very well marked out,nice undulating tracks,friendly Marshall's,courteous tourists,amazing scenery,especially with the icecap mountains.would highly recommend it,i was recommended the grizedale 26 by a friend ,no regrets,look forward to the next one,how gills I think

A really well organised race, just like all the other Montane trail races. Plenty of well stocked food and drink stations along the route. Amazing views of lake Windermere and Coniston Water! If you're into trail running then this is definitely a date for the calendar. I'll be back next year!

Brilliant. My 4th time at the same event which is rare for me!

Fantastic run with breath taking views.. thoroughly enjoyed it.. great organisation

It was tough to say the least. The first half was not as tough as the second so something had the be held back to be able to keep going the second half. It made it all the better with the weather being dry. Great organisation from Epic events as always and the marshals were appreciated at all locations including the check points. Can't wait for Dalemain 10K.

This is my 3rd time doing this race & I love it. It is always very well organised & a well marked out route. The weather was amazing this year with a fantastic view over Coniston. Cant wait to take part again next year.
