Many of our crew have worked on the events for years and we're always happy to chat to you on event day if you'd like advice or just to share why you're running.
The Lake District is our playground too, so not only are we're really familiar with the trails you'll be running on, we do our best for you and the communities we run in.

This page has only just been created which is why I'm the only one appearing so far!
I took part in my first Lakeland Trails' event at Keswick in 2013. My move back to Cumbria hadn't gone to plan and I entered because I needed a challenge and the escapism running on the trails gives. I kept returning to the events because of the amazing sense of community and belonging I got at them.
The events have played such an important role in shaping my life and it's so important to me that we put on the best events we can because I know they mean so much to so many other runners (and walkers).
My favourite event is probably the next one to take place.
My biggest achievement is sweeping the Ultra 55k on 2015 after never running more than 25 miles previously (and course marking the day before!)
