Lakeland Run

Drawing inspiration from our Lakeland Round walking holiday, we have devised this Contours-exclusive trail running route to enable you to take in everything the Lake District National Park has to offer the discerning off-road runner.

The Lakeland Run remains reasonably low-level – or as low-level as a Lake District route can be! It darts through valleys, bounds over mountain passes, dashes across moors and skirts around the feet of such imposing fells as Scafell Pike and the Old Man of Coniston, offering truly inspiring views throughout.

This is a magnificent running route with plenty of terrain changes and undulations to test your endurance, while also passing through plenty of welcoming towns and villages to keep you powering on.
