Join the Lake District Ultra Challenge
Take on England’s finest countryside at your pace as a walk, jog, or run – and fundraise for Acorns!
Challenge basecamp is in Kendal, and it’s a 100km looped route with a few tough hills to Ambleside; a halfway point by Lake Windermere with stunning views enroute and a huge welcome back at basecamp! Join up to 2,000 adventurers and sign up as an individual or as a team; you’ll get full support all the way, plenty of food and drink, optional camping and transfers, a special medal, t shirt and celebration finish. With a 50km, half marathon, full marathon, quarter and 10km distance options also available – there’s a Lake District Challenge for everyone!
Push yourself further in 2026 for Acorns and take on an Ultra Challenge – the UK’s number one series of treks and trail challenges.
