Overview
This is the seventh LM42. 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 good basic navigational skills will be required.
Expect a very 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 42 miles with several thousand feet of ascent . An early dawn start will set you up for a daylight completion … if you can!
