The PUMA Coniston Trail Race and PUMA Coniston Challenge is a 15km course through some of the most dramatic mountain scenery in the Lake District
This year we return to John Ruskin School for our start & finish venue.
Starting and finishing at John Ruskin School in Coniston village, the 15km circuit along well marked and marshalled footpaths and bridleways takes in panoramic views of Lake Coniston and the surrounding peaks of the Old Man, Swirl How, Wetherlam and Dow Crags.
Underfoot conditions are generally good for those used to off road running, although there is one short 200m section after approx 4km which only agile mountain goats will be able to run. Check out the slide-show of the course.
The course has kilometre markers and a water station at just over half-way, there are some great prizes on offer for the trail race, and winners prizes in the veteran classes. All the finishers receive a Lakeland Trails technical T shirt memento worth £20.00 and will have a chance of winning one of the spot prizes donated by local businesses.
There are children's Fun Trails too for under 12's - short laps around the finish arena for all abilities. Every finisher gets a specially engraved medal, and there are spot prizes too.
