The Montane Lakeland 50 & 100 is a long distance trail running event situated in the Lake District. The event features two primary distances that utilize public bridleways and footpaths to navigate the terrain. Participants must be at least 18 years old to enter.

The 100 mile distance consists of a circular route that encompasses the Lakeland fells. The course starts and finishes in Coniston, Cumbria, and includes approximately 6300m of total ascent. The route heads south initially before following a clockwise loop through the Dunnerdale fells, Eskdale, Wasdale, and Buttermere. Runners then pass through Keswick, Matterdale, and Haweswater before returning to the Coniston finish line via Kentmere, Ambleside, and Elterwater.

The 50 mile distance starts at the Dalemain Estate located north of Pooley Bridge. This point-to-point route joins the latter half of the longer course and concludes at the same finish area in Coniston. It involves 3100m of total ascent.

Available distances:

• 100 miles with 6300m of ascent starting and finishing in Coniston.
