Keswick | Lakeland Trails

Keswick | Lakeland Trails is a one-day trail running event based at Fitz Park, Keswick, offering 5 km, 10 km and 15 km options that follow well‑marked and marshalled footpaths and bridleways around Derwentwater. The event combines competitive race options and challenge entries, with scenic lake and fell views across routes that are suitable for runners, walkers and families alike. The organiser positions the day as a festival‑style occasion with a carnival atmosphere, live music, race commentary and on‑site food and drink, making it particularly welcoming for spectators and visiting supporters.

The Keswick event page forms part of the Lakeland Trails Autumn Series and describes practical arrangements such as on‑the‑day race number collection, parking guidance (postcode CA12 5QB for navigation) and safety rules including headphone restrictions and mandatory race number placement. Course maps and essential information are published by the organiser, with start lists released in advance; some race categories use earlybird pricing for limited places. The 5 km has no time limit while the 10 km and 15 km options include stated time limits and cut‑offs for safety, and prize eligibility applies to the competitive race starts.
