Lakeland Paws Whinlatter Double Header

This is the final event of Lakeland Paws Season 4, held at Whinlatter with forest roads and trails forming the courses. The event uses individual starts so each runner and dog has space at the start. Courses are fully marked and the event is chip timed; GPX files are available to download.

There are two route options:

  • 8K (5 miles) loop reaching the summit of Seat How with about 360m ascent
  • 5K (3 miles) shorter route joining the second half of the longer course with about 240m ascent

The Seat How route is the original summit route and includes some narrower and steeper sections; on that route only one dog per runner is permitted and dogs must be run on a suitable harness. Harnesses are available to borrow from Non Stop Dog Wear. Runners may compete without dogs. There are no cut-offs, and participants may walk sections if they prefer.

The event concludes with the season prize giving. Entry details listed for this event include entries opening on 25 July 2025 and closing on 9 May 2026, a minimum age of 16 years, and an entry fee of £19.00. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
