There are three options to choose from, depending on how competitive you are. For the adventurous, the 42.2km Lakeland Trails Marathon Race has a time limit of just 6 hours - with runnable sections passing through breathtaking scenery, yet the course also has short sections of technical climbs and descents, and will test even the fittest. For the less competitive and those new to off-road trail running, the 42.2km Lakeland Trails Marathon Challenge is the one for you, as you have an extra two hours start on the serious guys, but follows exactly the same stunning course. The new 21.1km Lakeland Trails half Marathon takes in the first 15km of the marathon route, for those wanting a shorter option.
Please note : We are expecting demand to be high for the 2nd Lakeland Trails Marathon, so please enter early to guarantee your place.
