Lakeland Paws Whinlatter Tails South

Whinlatter, United Kingdom • 6 Dec 2026

Lakeland Paws: Whinlatter Tails

Lakeland Paws: Whinlatter Tails is scheduled for 6 December 2026 and is part of a season of events at Whinlatter. The course terrain is a mix of forest roads and trails and is organised around routes based at Whinlatter. Ongoing forestry works may require the organisers to switch from the Seat How route to an alternative Whinlatter course.

There are two course options:

  • 8K loop with 360 m ascent that reaches the summit of Seat How.
  • 5K route with 240 m ascent that joins the second half of the longer course.

Some sections on the Seat How route are narrower and steeper; on those sections only one dog per runner is allowed and dogs must be run on a suitable harness. Runners are also allowed to compete without dogs. The event is chip timed and the route will be marked. GPX files are available for download. There are no cut offs and walking the course is permitted.

Entry details published for the event include a minimum age of 16 and an entry fee of £20. The event is presented as part of a series of events in the same season. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
