There are three senior events, the 10km Helvellyn Trail Run starting at 10.30am, the 15km Helvellyn Trail Challenge starting at 12.00pm, and the 15km Helvellyn Trail Race starting at 13.00pm. The children's Fun Trails sets off when most people have finished the Helvellyn Trail.
I just wanted to drop you a quick note to let you know how much my husband and I enjoyed last weekend's Steamy Surprise. I can quite honestly say it was probably the most enjoyable running event either of us have ever taken part in ! The scenery was stunning, the weather was great, the hills were challenging, and the downhills made me consider becoming a fell runner (albeit very briefly...) Kelley Sprawson
