The event is a set of fully marked and marshalled trail races starting and finishing in Fitz Park, Keswick, Cumbria. Routes follow footpaths and bridleways around Derwentwater with panoramic views of Skiddaw, Blencathra and the northern fells.

Event facilities include an event village with live music, race commentary, local food and drink stalls, on-site retail by Pete Bland Sports and an INOV8 demo stand.
