Lakeland Paws: Whinlatter Tails

Lakeland Paws presents a trail event at Whinlatter as part of Season 5 of the series. Each event in the series follows the same format with individual starts for each athlete. Courses combine forest roads and trails. Organisers plan to run the Seat How course where possible but reserve the right to use an alternative Whinlatter route while forest works are ongoing.

There are two marked route options:

  • 8K loop with 360m ascent, reaches the summit of Seat How and returns via forest roads and trails
  • 5K route with 240m ascent, joins the second half of the longer course and avoids Seat How

Some sections on the Seat How route are narrower and steeper; for safety only one dog per runner is allowed on those sections and dogs must be run in a suitable harness. Runners may compete without dogs. The event is chip timed and the course will be marked. GPX files are available for download. There are no cut offs and walking is permitted on the routes. Minimum age for the event is 16 or older and the published entry fee is £20. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
