Explore the Kendal figure of 8 town run
Location: Kendal, Westmorland and Furness
A figure-of-eight road circuit through Kendal, covering roughly 6 km entirely on pavement and roads. With around 60 metres of gentle climbing spread across town, it offers an undulating urban run that loops between the river corridor and surrounding neighbourhoods.
The circuit weaves along both sides of the River Kent, running close to open green spaces at Goose Holme and Abbot Hall before cutting along Highgate. Further stretches loop through residential streets towards Mintsfeet and trace the lower streets below Castle Hill, giving a varied cross-section of the town.
Underfoot, it stays on solid pavement and tarmac throughout, providing reliable footing without technical distractions. A straightforward town circuit balancing quiet riverside stretches with everyday streets.
