Inspiring Races In Beautiful Places
Lakeland Trails in Hawkshead
Saturday 28th April 2012
Now in its 7th year, the 17km Hawkshead Trail (Race and Challenge) follow well marked and marshalled courses through some of the most scenic and varied countryside in the Lake District – Beatrix Potter country!
Starting from Hawkshead Showground (postcode LA22 0NN), the 17km Hawkshead Trail Race and 17km Hawkshead Trail Challenge follow a circuit along well marked and marshalled footpaths and bridleways takes in panoramic views of Lake Windermere and the surrounding peaks of the Coniston Hills, the Langdales and most of the Lakeland fells. Underfoot conditions are generally good, for those used to off-road running. Check out the slide show of the course.
The 17km Hawkshead Trail is split into TWO events – the Challenge, for less competitive runners, novice trail runners and those who want to take it easy and enjoy the views. The Challenge sets off at 13.00 and you get an hour extra to complete the course. The Race sets off at 14.00 and is for competitive runners, with winners prizes and a shorter time limit.
