‘Relay2’ – In a group of 4-6 people, there will be 2 of your team on each full stage of the course and tagging each other in at basecamp in Glenridding. You must have 2 on the course at all times, though how you choose to split the route is up to you.
‘Relay4’ – In a team of 6-12 people there will be 4 of your team on each full stage of the course, tagging each other in at basecamp in Glenridding. You must have 4 on the course at all times, though how you choose to split the route is up to you.
On average, the event takes eight to nine hours to complete and we strongly advise training for the event. The longest element of the event is the mountain climb, which will take four - five hours.
You will cycle a total of 22 miles, taking you along the shores of Ullswater, and surround yourself with the Lake District peaks.
The route has nearly 600m of elevation and has a mixed bag roads. Starting and finishing with undulating road along the side of the picturesque Ullswater before turning left and on to the largest climb of the route towards Dockray. After this, it weaves its way through quiet lanes passing stunning hamlets and villages before returning on the lake road back to Glenridding.
Grab a paddle and canoe a two-mile route on stunning Ullswater. It will take teamwork to complete this element, as you paddle as part of two connected canoe boats, creating a stable craft to keep your team together.
Trek to the summit of the third highest peak in England, the magnificent Helvellyn. A six-mile round trip that will reward you with incredible views across the Lake District to take in your achievement.

From elite athletes dominating the global stage to women from all walks of life crossing the finish line smashing their PBs, their stories resonate with those who have been tuning in. It is amazing to think how far the ripple of inspiration goes with masses watching from the side lines thinking ‘maybe that could be me next year!’. It’s always inspirational seeing individuals push themselves on whatever scale or stage that might be. That’s why we love what we do so much after all!
