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 50km half, marathon, quarter and 10km distance options also available there’s a Lake District Challenge for everyone!
