There are events on the day for all ages and abilities, from faster walkers to international standard athletes. The two longer events, Coniston Trail Race and Coniston Trail Challenge both follow the same 15km course. New for 2012 ! A shorter distance 10km Coniston Trail Run for those wanting an easier, less hilly option. The children's Fun Trails take place at the finish and set off at 12.30pm, before the seniors begin their journey on the Coniston Trail.
