Join our team in June for the Lake District Ultra Challenge and make a difference to those affected by pancreatic cancer.

Take on England’s finest countryside as a walk, jog, or run and fundraise for Pancreatic Cancer UK! Challenge Basecamp is in Kendal, with the 100km loop passing through a couple of tough hills, the Garburn pass and historic Ambleside. You reach the halfway point by Lake Windermere with stunning views en route, before a huge welcome back at basecamp!

Alternative distances include 50km, 25km & 10km, so there’s a Lake District Challenge for everyone!

Join up to 2,000 adventurers and sign up as an individual or as a team. You’ll get full support all the way, plenty of food & drink, optional camping & transfers, a special medal, a T-shirt and a celebration finish.

Become part of Team Pancreatic Cancer UK, and together we can bring more than hope to those affected by pancreatic cancer.
