Come and Spunch with us at the Kendal Mountain Festival as part of an action packed and fun-filled festival weekend! Start window: Anytime from 10:00 to 14:30 on Friday, Saturday or Sunday 20th-22nd November
Can be done solo, in a pair, or as a friends / family group of 3 or more. Each participant needs to put in an individual entry EXCEPT accompanied youngsters under 18 who go for FREE (when accompanied by a paying adult who must be 21+). Juniors aged 16 and above can run/walk alone with parental permission - in this case they need their own individual entry at the adult rate.

The Spunch at Kendal Mountain Festival can also be paired with a full-fat countryside Spunch with 1, 2 & 3 hour courses from Windermere on the Sunday morning - see separate SiEntries listing for further details. |

The Area & Course
A first Spunch visit to Kendal and the Kendal Mountain Festival - the town itself will be bursting with energy! Our carefully curated course will provide you with options to visit some of the highlights in this attractive town and immediately adjacent countryside. 50/50 on-road and off-road trails. You will likely visit the town centre winding your way through some of Kendal's hidden yards. Maybe take the riverside paths and visit the green spaces around Kendal Castle? Longer distance travellers may venture into Serpentine Woods and onto the slopes of Kendal Fell?
Lots of route choice and lots of hilly and less hilly options at this one. Good running / walking on a mixture of underfoot conditions from tarmac to off-road paths*. There will be something for everyone and even locals will likely discover new paths and places!
Hope you will come along and give it a go.
*total absence of mud can not be guaranteed!
