The information for the Lakeland Way Ultra is work in progress, but if you would like the GPX file of the route you can download it via the link below. If you complete the challenge and want your details added to the website, please send me a copy of your recorded track and a brief report of your run, including date, time, conditions and feedback etc. We hope to complete the information for this page as soon as possible.

Please note that the GPX file provided for download is a “plotted route” created on the OS mapping website, and not an actual “recorded track” from a GPS device on foot. This means the total mileage on the file will not be an accurate reading.
Crossing the River Esk
A mile or so from Ravenglass a low-tide window is required to be able to cross the River Esk at the Eskmeals Viaduct. This running version of the Lakeland Way has been developed from the walking version, however, it is in reverse (anti-clockwise) of the latter so that the river crossing is at the beginning of your challenge. This will help with logistics and generating fast times.
