Lakeland Paws: Whinlatter Tails
Season 5. The event takes place on Sunday 6 December 2026 at Whinlatter, using forest roads and trails. The organisers plan to use the original Seat How route but reserve the right to switch to another Whinlatter course if forest works prevent access.
The series uses individual starts for each athlete so dogs have space at the start. On the Seat How route some sections are narrower and steeper; those sections allow only one dog per runner and dogs must be run on a suitable harness. Runners may take part without dogs.
Course options:
- 8K (5 miles) loop with 360 m ascent reaching the summit of Seat How.
- 5K (3 miles) route with 240 m ascent that avoids Seat How and joins the second half of the longer course.
The event is chip timed and the route will be marked. GPX files are available to download. Minimum age to enter is 16. Entry fee is listed as £20. The event is part of the Lakeland Paws series of forest races and follows the same format as the other events in the series. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
