Kendal River Loop Extended - Anti-Clockwise — 5.6 km Running Route

This circular route of just under 6 km loops around Kendal, mixing quiet town streets with open stretches beside the River Kent. Heading out anti-clockwise from the centre, the way skirts around the base of Castle Hill on residential roads and paved paths.

The way then cuts across towards the water at the southern end, picking up paths that follow the Kent northwards through local parkland and riverside green space. Underfoot is almost entirely hard-surfaced and level, with barely 25 metres of gentle climbing across the whole circuit, most of it rising slightly just past the halfway mark. A straightforward town and waterside run with reliable footing throughout.
