Beyond the Lune Winter Ultra
The event is a winter trail ultra running loop starting and finishing in the centre of Kirkby Lonsdale, based at The Barn. The route is 65 km with 2000 m of ascent, mostly on footpaths and bridleways, with about 10 km on tarmac. The course passes seven summits, several local landmarks and includes a steep section known as the Radical Steps near the end.
Navigation must be self managed using a GPS unit plus a back up map or a second GPS unit; phones are not accepted for navigation. Two checkpoints with feed stations provide hot food, drinks and water. Participants receive a GPX file of the route and there is Beyond the Lune merchandise subject to availability in the final week. On completion runners are offered a beer and a pizza, and a pastry and hot drink are provided at the start.
