There are five events on the day, for all ages and abilities, from faster walkers to international standard athletes. The three main senior events, PUMA Coniston Trail Race, Challenge and Nordic Challenge all follow the same 15km course. The Bridgedale Coniston Sport Trail is approximately 5km, with the children's Fun Trails taking place at the finish and setting off when most people have finished the Coniston Trail.
