Nav4 Ullswater Way & Challenge

Pooley Bridge, United Kingdom • 1 Nov 2025

Based at Parkin Memorial Hall, Pooley Bridge, NAV4 Ullswater Way & Challenge offers two routes: Ullswater Way (20 miles) and Ullswater Challenge (24 miles). The largely low-level, clockwise lakeside course circles Ullswater, passing The Cockpit, Howtown and Hallin Fell. After Glenridding, runners can stay low to Gowbarrow Fell or take the higher-level Glencoyne traverse to Dockray and Gowbarrow Summit on the Challenge; the high route may be closed in bad weather, in which case all participants follow the 20-mile route. The event is low-key, with checkpoints, signage, and event staff; finish features tea, coffee, cake, and NAV4 soup in a souvenir mug.
