Community Traverse - Lakes Challenge
The Community Traverse Lakes Challenge is a 70 km mountain route on 20 March 2027 that follows a section of Wainwright's Coast to Coast between St Bees and Patterdale. The event condenses coastal trails, mountain passes, and Lake District terrain into a single-day course.
The route includes coastal paths, steep climbs, rocky descents, and mountain terrain. Sections are way‑marked but participants should not rely solely on way‑marks for navigation. A GPX file and final route details will be issued in advance. Weather and ground conditions can vary significantly.
There is one major checkpoint at Rosthwaite. Key checkpoint locations include Ennerdale (water station), Rosthwaite, and Patterdale (finish). Checkpoints provide hot and cold food with non‑vegan and vegan options, hot and cold beverages, snacks and race nutrition, indoor access, toilet facilities and period products, and first aid support.
The overall event cut off is 18 hours; individual checkpoint cut offs will be published in the final race pack. A mandatory kit list applies. Live tracking is used and trackers must be returned. Participants must follow the route, report withdrawals to race control, and be able to maintain forward progress within cut offs.
Entries open 27 April 2026 and close 1 March 2027. Minimum age is 20 or older. Entry fee is £70. The event is registered with the International Trail Running Association and finishers earn ITRA endurance points. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
