The Montane Lakeland 50 & 100

The Montane Lakeland 50 & 100 is a long-distance trail running event held in the Lake District. The event consists of two primary distances that utilize public bridleways and footpaths to navigate the fells of Cumbria. The base for the event is located at the John Ruskin School in Coniston.

The available distances include:

• Lakeland 100: A 100-mile circular route with approximately 6300m of ascent starting and finishing in Coniston.
• Lakeland 50: A 50-mile point-to-point route with 3100m of ascent starting at Dalemain Estate.

The Lakeland 100 route encompasses the Lakeland fells in a clockwise loop. From Coniston, the path moves south before passing through the Dunnerdale fells, Eskdale, Wasdale, and Buttermere to reach Keswick. The journey continues through Matterdale, Haweswater, Kentmere, Ambleside, and Elterwater before returning to the finish line.

The Lakeland 50 distance begins at the Dalemain Estate, located north of Pooley Bridge. This course follows the second half of the 100-mile route and also concludes in Coniston. Participation is open to individuals aged 18 or older. The event takes place over a weekend in July, utilizing the natural terrain and established trail networks of the region.
