Starting and finishing at Fitz Park in Keswick, the 5K Derwentwater Sport Trail, 10K Derwentwater Trail Run, 15K Derwentwater Trail Race and 15K Derwentwater Trail Challenge are circuits along well-marked and marshalled footpaths and bridleways, with panoramic views of Derwentwater, Skiddaw and Blencathra.
Underfoot conditions are generally good for those used to trail running, but be prepared for anything! This is the Lake District, after all…
The course has no stiles, so there is nothing but the hills and the infamous Bottomless Bogs of the Glenderaterra Valley to break up your rhythm.
A carnival atmosphere is guaranteed for both spectators and competitors, with live music, race commentary, and food and drink available at start and finish, making this a perfect family day out, or just a good excuse to head back to the Lake District!
So, whether you’re new to trail running, an experienced athlete, or simply looking for an unforgettable day out in the Lake District, a family-friendly, festival atmosphere and some amazing trail running awaits you!
