Coniston
The Coniston Lakeland Trails event follows trails from the shores of Coniston Water into the Coppermines Valley and beneath the Old Man. Routes run along well marked and marshalled footpaths and bridleways and offer panoramic views of Coniston Water 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, with mainly hard packed trails and occasional muddy sections. One short section on the 16K route is notably more technical and may be difficult to run. Course marshals and signage are provided, and participants are asked to be considerate to other trail and road users and to close any gates behind them on private land.
Event facilities are based at Coniston Sports and Social Club. The event village includes live music, race commentary, food and drink stalls and sports retailers. Portable toilets and a bike rack are available at the venue. Race numbers must be collected on the day and attached horizontally so timing chips can be read. In ear headphones are not allowed; bone conduction headphones are permitted. Dogs are not allowed on the running courses but should be kept on a lead at the main event venue.
