Lake District Challenge

Kendal basecamp provides the Lake District Challenge with a distinct out-and-back character: you depart the tents and noise, then progress through England's finest countryside at your own speed. The loop includes challenging hills, the Garburn Pass, historic Ambleside, forests and nature reserves, with Lake Windermere signifying the halfway point of the day. This is an ultra-style event suitable for walkers, joggers, and runners, though the hills still present significant challenges. Expect marked trails, rest stops offering food and drink, GPS tracking, medical and massage assistance, followed by a warm welcome back at basecamp after a significant journey.
