42km Grasmere Gallop

A beautiful, fully way-marked trail route looping around Grasmere and neighbouring valleys including Alcock Tarn, Loughrigg summit, Rydal caves, Great Langdale Valley, and Easedale Tarn. The route is a challenging one, with approximately 6250 feet of ascent, but you’ll be rewarded with a great Lakeland day out, a locally made Langdale slate medal and of course, cake at the finish line! Out on the course, there will be a drinks station with cold drinks at approximately mile 4 and mile 11 plus a checkpoint with drinks and snacks at approximately mile 17. The event starts at 07:30, with a cut-off time at Stickle Tarn of 6 hours 15 minutes. You must have left this checkpoint by 13:45. Any runner that misses this cut-off time will be transported back to the finish. The final cut-off time for the event is 9 hours/16:30. Entry includes tracker hire so your family and friends can follow your progress around the route. All runners must carry a mandatory kit list which can be found below.
