THE LAP Windermere Ultra Clockwise

THE LAP is a fully signposted ultra trail around Lake Windermere covering 47 miles / 75K. The event is open to runners and walkers and provides route navigation aids including over 2,000 route marking arrows, a waterproof foldable map, GPX file and live GPS tracking.

The course includes six feed and aid stations positioned around the route, with a halfway aid station at Troutbeck that also handles a shoes-only bag drop. Feed stations provide water, cordial, electrolytes, energy drinks and a wide variety of food; the halfway station offers hot pizza. A finishers meal and a bespoke wooden finisher medal are included for all finishers. Event photography and live timing are provided.

Competitors must carry the mandatory kit list at all times. Random kit checks are carried out and failure to carry required items can result in a did not finish (DNF). Trackers are attached by officials and must remain external to the pack. If a competitor continues after dark without an appropriate headtorch or torch they will be removed for safety.

The race enforces a 24 hour overall limit and additional cutoffs that come into force from the halfway station. Registration is in person at Race HQ and requires photo identification; parking is available beside HQ on grass and camping and motorhome restrictions apply. Spectator access to feed stations and pacers are not permitted. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
