Lakeland Paws: Whinlatter Double Header

This event is the final race of Lakeland Paws Season 5 and the second event of a double header weekend. The season prize giving takes place at the end of this event. The original route reaches the summit of Seat How and then returns via forest roads and trails to the visitors centre.

There are two fully marked course options and the event is chip timed. Participants may walk as much as they like because there are no cut offs. GPX files are available to download.

Course options:

8K loop with 360m ascent, reaches the summit of Seat How
5K route joining the second half, 240m ascent

On the Seat How route some sections are narrow and steep; only one dog per runner is permitted on those sections and dogs must be run in a suitable harness. Harnesses are available to borrow from Non Stop Dog Wear. Runners may compete without dogs. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
