Lords Seat, Keswick

Lords Seat is a fell race held in the Lake District, England, organised from the Whinlatter Visitor Centre area. The senior course covers 8 km / 5 miles with approximately 430 m / 1411 ft of climb. The race starts in the car park next to the visitor centre and uses Cafe Ambio at Whinlatter Visitor Centre as the event venue and registration point.

Entry is available on the day only; pre-entry is not offered. The on-the-day entry fee is £7 payable in cash, and separate car parking charges apply. Competitors are requested to use the main Whinlatter car park rather than parking on the road.

Junior races are staged for younger runners from age 6 upward, with junior registration handled at the cafe. Junior competitors aged 16 or over on race day may run in the seniors race with a signed parent consent form.

The event holds a Permit and associated UK Athletics insurance from the FRA. Full FRA minimum kit is required, although organisers may reduce kit requirements on the day. The event is listed under Category AS and Skills PM.

Race records on the senior course include a male best of 00:31:14 (2018) and a female best of 00:34:29 (2017). Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
