Overview
Under hyped and aimed solely at those with good mountain running and 'hill skills'... This is no tame trail race! You will be going over mountain summits, on mountain trails, so sound navigational and hill skills will be required.
Expect a tough mountain trail route including the summits of Helvellyn and High Street, on a variety of terrain but predominately Lakeland mountain paths. Total distance will be around 40 miles with several thousand feet of ascent . An early dawn start will set you up for a daylight completion … if you can!

Kit
Full bad weather mountain running gear required! Details confirmed in 'Final Info' email during week before, once we know what sort of Winter / Spring snow and weather we have. It could be anything!
Kit wise, expect to carry the usual mountain running safety gear. Waterproofs, quality long sleeved thermal, spare fleece or primaloft. Warm hat and gloves (and spares?) Head torch, compass, map, food and drink, survival bag, whistle … etc.
Askham
Askham is a great venue being on the edge of the National Park, and just five miles from Penrith, and the M6. There are a good range of local accommodation options, and good rail connections via Penrith.
