Location: Kendal, Westmorland and Furness

This 5 km loop offers a flat run through Kendal, almost entirely on paved surfaces. The circuit follows the Lancaster Canal Trail for a good stretch, providing a smooth, traffic-free surface for much of the way.

As you move around the circuit, you'll pass close to the River Kent, and the route takes you through parts of the town, with St Thomas' Church and the Friends Meeting House visible just off Stricklandgate.

It's a straightforward circuit, ideal for steady running on a consistently flat and paved surface.
