The ashmei Ullswater Trail Run and Ultra is back for 2014 but BIGGER and Better.

The Trail run remains the same epic 20 mile lap of the lake as last year however this year we will start the race from our new race village near Pooley Bridge.

The Ultra has increased in length from 33 to 40 miles which we now call the double which basically means you run twice around the lake. Both races will be fully marshalled and course marked.

The event opens on Friday evening at the race village near Pooley Bridge with a luxury, weather-proof tensioned canopy tent forming the heart of the race village. Within this tent will be a fire pit, lounge seating, chill-out zone and a dining space. There will be nightly film screenings and a DJ mixing smooth grooves on Friday and Saturday night.

Saturday’s feature race will be a tough 9 mile hill run that takes in the epic mountain range that forms the backdrop to the lake and race village. In addition there will also be some free of charge kid’s races and some fun and games around the village and along the lake shore.

Gourmet food will be on site throughout the weekend serving a wide variety of delicious, healthy food. Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner menus will be available, as well as snacks throughout the day. A licensed bar will serve fresh smoothies, energy drinks alongside cocktails, wine, beer and soft drinks. Open-air and covered dining areas will be available.

The key races will start on Sunday morning from Pooley Bride.
