Buttermere Trail Race 2027
Buttermere Trail Race is a single lap trail event of 20 kilometres based in Buttermere Village, Cumbria. The route circles the shores of Buttermere and Crummock Water and is fully waymarked so no navigation experience is required. Race headquarters are in Buttermere Village, CA13 9XA.
The course is described as a low level undulating route that combines lakeshore trails, hard packed rocky trails, grassy tracks and woodland singletrack.

The event is not suitable for wheelchairs.
