About the event

Join Team JDRF this June and take on the Lake District Challenge to help support those living with type 1 diabetes.

Our Challenge basecamp is in Kendal, and then it’s a 100km anticlockwise loop taking in a couple of tough hills, the Garburn Pass, historic Ambleside, a half way point by Lake Windermere, forests & nature reserves – with some stunning views en route, before a huge welcome & celebration back at basecamp after a momentous journey.

Your entry includes a range of free food and drink at regular rest stops, plus support from medics, marshals and massage teams. As you cross the finish line, you’ll get a glass of fizz, t-shirt, and a special medal to celebrate your achievement.

As JDRF are an ‘Official Charity Partner’ – sign up for the Lake District Challenge and commit to fundraise for us and you’ll get 25% OFF the standard charity place registration fee!
