Ambleside to Elterwater Trail Run — 6.7 km Running Point-to-point

This point-to-point run from Ambleside to Elterwater covers just under 7 km through classic Lakeland country. Most of the climbing comes right away, working up the fellside beneath Loughrigg Fell with a sustained pull of around 150 metres. Underfoot is predominantly good, alternating between stony tracks, rough grass and open fell paths.

After cresting the high ground, a steady descent drops towards Loughrigg Tarn and the valley near Skelwith Bridge. The ground then levels out onto paths along the River Brathay, following sections of the Cumbria Way and quiet lane towards Elter Water before reaching Elterwater village. A punchy point-to-point that pairs honest fell climbing with a flowing valley finish.
