Four Striders made the trip to Keswick for the forty seventh running of this popular race. While the route is basically around Derwentwater there are plenty of hills and spectacular views along the way.
Nearly 500 competitors filled the the traffic-free Market Place before setting out through the narrow streets on their way up Borrowdale. Here the undulating road gave some warning of what was in store on the other side of the lake. After crossing the River Derwent at Grange the route climbed 220 ft along the side of that familiar feature of the view from Keswick – Cat Bells. Then it was mostly downhill through the village of Portinscale and on the finish at Keswick School.
