The course, which follows the same route as the Kielder Marathon, is mainly off road and uses the Lakeside trail that encircles the shoreline of Kielder Water, northern Europe’s largest man-made lake. To find about more about the course see the route guide.

Each team member will receive an event t-shirt, medal and goody bag. 

Entries will be offered on a first come first serve basis. 

The minimum age for entries is 16 on race day. 

*The Lakeside Way is a trail and therefore the bike needs to be a hybrid or mountain bike. Road bikes are unsuitable.  Bike hire is available from The Bike Place Kielder and Purple Mountain located in Kielder.  For more information go to www.visitkielder.com
