We're delighted to be bringing you our first Lakeland Paws event based at Dodd Wood. Dodd is just on the opposite side of Bassenthwaite Lake from Whinlatter Forest, with a backdrop of Skiddaw and stunning views across Derwentwater and Bassenthwaite Lake to the Coledale Fells. Our event will follow the same format as our Whinlatter ones, starting at 9am with individual starts for each athlete so that all dogs have the space they need to start safely. The course is on a mix of forest roads and trails, some sections are narrower, but much of the course is wide so we are happy to allow people to run with two dogs who must both be run on a suitable harness. Please be aware that some sections of the course are steep. Runners are welcome to compete without dogs too. All runners must be responsible for their own safety and that of their dogs at all times.
There are two course options. The longer option is a 5 mile loop with roughly 1000ft (8K and 330m) of ascent, running around Dodd, but not actually going to the summit. There is a shorter option of 3 miles which avoids some of the ascent but does miss some of the best views. It is 3 miles with approx 800ft (5k and 240m).
The event is chip timed and will be marked. GPX files are available to download on our website too.
