About the Event

Discover the ultimate gateway ultra in the heart of the Lake District with THE LAP, a stunning 47-mile (75km) circumnavigation of England's largest lake, Windermere, on 12-13 September 2026. Known as "The Beautiful Ultra," this 24-hour event is specifically designed as the perfect first ultra-marathon, featuring fully signposted, runnable trails with over 2,000 marking arrows so you can focus on the breathtaking scenery. Open to both runners and walkers, you'll take in iconic Lake District viewpoints with the famous "big lake on your left," supported by six well-stocked aid stations, bag drop, and GPS tracking. With its generous time limit, lack of technical navigation, and a fantastic finisher's meal and medal awaiting you, it's the ideal challenge to step up to the 50-mile distance in one of the world's most beautiful landscapes. Whether you're chasing the £250+ lap record or your personal finish line, THE LAP offers an unforgettable and accessible Lake District adventure.
