Join us for the Lake District Challenge and take on England’s finest countryside!
Take on England’s finest countryside at your pace as a walk, jog, or run – and fundraise for Winston’s Wish! Challenge basecamp is in Kendal, and it’s a 100km looped route with a few tough hills to Ambleside; a halfway point by Lake Windermere with stunning views enroute, and a huge welcome back at basecamp!
Join up to 2,000 adventurers and sign up as an individual or as a team; you’ll get full support all the way, plenty of food and drink, optional camping and transfers, a special medal, T shirt and celebration finish. With 50km half, marathon, quarter and 10km distance options also available – there’s a Lake District Challenge for everyone! Push yourself further in 2026, take on an Ultra Challenge – the UK’s No.1 Series of treks and trail challenges.

Winston’s Wish and Child Bereavement UK are merging to strengthen the support available for bereaved children, young people, parents and families across the UK. In the coming weeks, Winston’s Wish will change its name to Child Bereavement UK. By taking on the Lake District Ultra Challenge you will still be raising money to support grieving children, young people and families, but the charity you will be fundraising for will be called Child Bereavement UK.
