Team Desperate Dan's - Lakeland
100 Event
Route description:
The Lakeland 100 'Ultra Tour of
the Lake District' is the most spectacular long distance trail race which has
ever taken place within the UK. The circular route encompasses the whole of the
lakeland fells, includes in the region of 6300m of ascent and consists almost
entirely of public bridleways and footpaths. The route starts in Coniston and
heads South before completing a clockwise loop which takes in the Dunnerdale
fells, Eskdale, Wasdale and Buttermere before arriving in Keswick. From here
the route heads to Matterdale and continues over to Haweswater before returning
via Kentmere, Ambleside and Elterwater to the finish at Coniston. The climb,
descent, rugged terrain, darkness and tricky navigation generally ensure a
50-60% failure rate over the 100 mile course. Seasoned ultra runners have tried
and many have failed, a finisher's medal in the Lakeland 100 is possibly one of
the most treasured possessions you will ever receive. There are few things in
life for which you will have to work so hard, show such commitment, desire and
the simple stubbornness to keep going.. the minority who have completed the
event will concur. http://www.lakeland100.com/the-lakeland-100
