Buttermere Trail Race 2024

A stunning trail race based in the beautiful Buttermere Valley.

Set amidst a dramatic landscape of high fells, this is an incredible circular route around the shores of Buttermere and Crummock Water. It's an ideal route for all abilities, you do not have to be super-fast or an elite athlete to enter, perfect if you are new to trail running and looking for a new challenge. The route will be fully marked so no navigation experience is necessary. Terrain: A low level undulating route with a great combination of off-road running terrain throughout ranging from lakeshore trails, hard-packed rocky trails, grassy tracks and woodland singletrack. The initial part of the course is considered more technical as the terrain along the western shoreline of Crummock Water is generally wet and rough underfoot. The second part comprises more hard packed trails. Entries: Minimum entry age 17 years old.
