Event overview

Lakeland Paws Whinlatter Double Header is scheduled for Sunday 10 May 2026 at Whinlatter, with the route reaching the summit of Seat How and returning to the visitors centre. It is the final event of Lakeland Paws Season 4 and is organised by Green Space Events Ltd. Entry is open from 25 July 2025 and closes on 9 May 2026. The minimum age to enter is 16 or older and the entry fee is £19. The event is chip timed, marked, and GPX files are available. Season prizes will be presented at the end of this event.

Course and logistics

The courses use a mix of forest roads and trails. Individual starts are used so that dogs have space at the start. Runners may compete with or without dogs. On the original route to the summit some sections are narrower and steeper; therefore only one dog per runner is allowed on that course and dogs must be run on a suitable harness. Harnesses are available to borrow from Non Stop Dog Wear. There are no cut-offs and participants may walk as much as they wish. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.

  • 8K (5 miles) : loop with about 360 m (1200 ft) of ascent, reaches the summit of Seat How
  • 5K (3 miles) : shorter loop joining the second half of the longer course, with about 240 m (800 ft) of ascent
