In 2017 the Lake District was recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage site; this designation specifically covers the 13 Valleys that make up the Lake District National Park. We’re donating 5% of every entry fee to the Lake District Foundation, the charity working to protect this magnificent part of the planet. The Lake District Foundation supports the sustainable future of Cumbria and the National Park through low carbon initiatives, fixing the fells, planting hedgerows and much more.
We are trying our best to make this event as sustainable as possible. Here are a few things we are doing:
• Using local staff and suppliers where possible to reduce travel and support local communities. • Reusing event signage wherever possible and avoiding single- use signs. Wayfinding signs include a contact number so any missed signs can be reported and collected. • Providing vegetarian and vegan options at all feed stations. • Reducing unnecessary event merchandise by not providing race T-shirts, and instead offering locally made finisher medals produced from more sustainable materials. • 5% of each entry for the event is being donated to the Lake District Foundation to take care of the trails we use across the weekend.
