Described as `a perfect 10` the Grasmere Gallop 10k Trail Run takes you through some of the most beautiful landscape in the country, the Vale of Grasmere and Rydal, the place that inspired the foundation of the National Trust. You start the day by registering at the `event hub` on the Grasmere Sports Field. Car parking will be free to all registered competitors. Then, from the designated `muster points` on the field, you will be `piped` to the start line, a short walk through the village of Grasmere. The route then leaves the village, initially along a C road before leaving to climb through Deer Bolts Wood and then onto the stunning `Loughrigg Terrace`. Continue along and over the shoulder of Loughrigg, passing the dramatic Rydal Cave and then return to Grasmere via the inspiring shorelines of Rydal Water and Grasmere. There is even an optional water dash for those of you brave enough to try.
