About the race

Lakeland Paws: Whinlatter Tails is a trail event at Whinlatter Forest in Season 5 of the Lakeland Paws series. The series includes nine events this season. The course surface is a mix of forest roads and trails, and there are ongoing forest works that may require switching from the Seat How route to an alternative Whinlatter route.

The event uses individual starts so dogs have space at the start. The original Seat How route has some narrow and steeper sections; on that route only one dog per runner is allowed and dogs must be run on a suitable harness. Competitors may also take part without dogs. The routes include hilly sections and there are no cut offs, so walking is permitted.

The event is chip timed and the course will be marked. GPX files are available to download. Entry requirements include a minimum age of 16 and an entry fee of £20.
