THE LAP in September 2026 invites participants to circumnavigate England’s largest lake over a route of approximately 47 miles (75 km), beginning and ending at Low Cunsey Farm in Ambleside. The event is open to both runners and walkers, offering a full day to complete the loop within 24 hours. The terrain is a mix of runnable tracks, flowing single-track trails, occasional quiet country road and steeper fell paths, all set against the backdrop of the Lake District’s iconic landscapes. With five well-stocked aid stations, live tracking, a distinctive finishers’ medal and a warm meal at the finish, this ultra is designed to combine challenge and enjoyment in one memorable outing.
