Lake District Marathon 2025

Takes in the tough & spectacular Ambleside area, with stunning views – to give a superb Marathon Challenge!  Starting from the Ultra Challenge Kendal Base Camp (where you can camp Fri / Sat), it’s up the Long Sleddle Valley, and over the testing Garburn Pass with stunning 360 views towards Widermere, and then on to Ambleside. From here – the route explores Rydal Water’s edge and includes stunning views of ‘5 Lakes’.

You’ll be rewarded with a medal, a glass of fizz, & a picnic lunch to celebrate back in Ambleside.
