About the Event

Take on one of the Lake District's most iconic trail climbs. The Lakeland Trails in Hawkshead event returns on Saturday, 11 April 2026, offering a choice between a scenic 10k and a challenging 16k route that starts and finishes in the picturesque village of Hawkshead. All routes feature the infamous, mile-long "Coffin Trail" ascent—an ancient corpse road with near-vertical sections that test every runner—rewarded with breathtaking panoramic views over Windermere and the surrounding fells. With fully marked and marshalled courses, separate competitive and non-competitive start waves for the 16k, and a vibrant festival atmosphere, it's a perfectly organized introduction to classic Lakeland trail running. Whether you're racing the clock or simply challenging yourself to conquer the climb, this event combines stunning Beatrix Potter countryside with a true sense of achievement and a fantastic community spirit.
