Sign up

Take in some of the country's best scenery on a stunning Lake District trek.

Join us on the Lake District Challenge and take on England's finest countryside at your pace. Our wonderful route takes you over some tough hills, Garburn Pass, into Ambleside, through our halfway point by the idyllic Lake Windermere, into some forests, and nature reserves all with some stunning views, all based around our Kendal basecamp, where you will get full support and hospitality, optional camping/hostel, and with half and quarter distance options – there’s a Lake District Challenge for everyone!

Why you should sign up

In addition to a Mental Health Foundation t-shirt, a fundraising pack and bespoke support from our Events Team, there are also some other great incentives too to sign up for this fantastic challenge. Your entry includes a range of free food and drinks at regular rest stops, and support from medics, marshals and massage teams. As you cross the finish line, you’ll get a glass of fizz, a t-shirt, and a special medal to celebrate your achievement.
