WASTE FREE
KESWICK MOUNTAIN FESTIVAL
We're determined to keep the trails we use waste and litter free. We've therefore teamed up with our nutrition supporters Active Root to keep you fueled and hydrated in a waste free way.
Firstly, if you present them with your reusable cup at their finish line stand, you'll receive 3 free Sports Drink sachets.
Secondly, you'll be able to hire a 150ml Soft Flask from their stand for your event for just £5 Deposit, you can fill this with your own fuel or Active Root Gel Mix for free. (Your £5 will be returned when you return their Soft Flask)
Active Root's drinks will be available to try for free, at the finish line, exhibitor marquee and at aid stations during the 10k, 25k and 50k Trail Runs as well as all of the Cycle Sportives. You'll also have the opportunity to try Gel Mix during the 25k and 50k Trail Runs as well as at the Active Root stand."

inov-8 Coledale Hike
£19.00 – £39.00
Saturday 21st May | 07:00 – 08:00am
Anyone up for the Coledale Hike? A tough but rewarding day out
The challenge route is a total of 17.6 miles with 1444m of ascent over rugged, steep and very challenging terrain. Please only enter this event if you are an experienced hiker.
The route leaves our Festival Village, taking you up Catbells, where you then descend and head along Rigg Beck. You then ascend up and onto the southern ridge of the Coledale Horseshoe, taking in Sail and Crag Hill before descending into the valley. But it’s time to get those climbing legs back on as you ascend up to Outerside, which is followed by Slight Side and Barrow. Once you’ve ticked your 6th summit you then head back to Keswick using a variety of roads, paths and tracks.
Please note, there are no hydration or feed stations on this hike, you must pack enough to be self sufficient. Juniors aged 14+ must be accompanied by an adult (no more than 2 juniors to 1 adult).
Pre Sales are Closed. Entries available on the day from Sports Registration on the Festival Village.
