Lake District Trail Running
Vertebrate Publishing Ltd (Verlag)
978-1-910240-72-4 (ISBN)
Lake District Trail Running is a comprehensive guide to off-road running in the Lake District National Park. With 20 runs, from 5.1km to 17km in length, this book is suitable for runners of all abilities.
The fells and valleys of the Lakes are a playground for the adventurous runner – this is the home of many classic fell races, and of course the legendary Bob Graham Round. In this book, author Helen Mort has collected together many of her favourite Lakeland runs, from low-lying and scenic lakeside cruises, to steep mountain climbs and remote and wild enchainments. Discover Grasmere, pick your way along the Haystacks ridge, explore Grisedale or run around Lakeland icons, such as Buttermere and Ennerdale Water. More experienced runners can challenge themselves on bigger and longer excursions to Fairfield and above Troutbeck.
Features clear and easy-to-use Ordnance Survey 1:25,000 maps, easy-to-follow directions, details of distance and timings, refreshment stops and local knowledge, and a detailed appendix.
Helen Mort is a writer, trail runner and climber who lives in Sheffield. She has been running since the age of 12, competing on the track, roads and fells over every distance from steeplechase to the marathon. Helen has represented Yorkshire for cross-country. In 2015, she ran her first sub-three-hour marathon, a success she attributes to years of trail running in Derbyshire and the Lake District, where she was a proud member of Ambleside AC. Her first novel Black Car Burning was published in 2019. She edited Waymaking and has written for Alpinist and Climb. In 2017, she was a judge for the Man Booker International Prize, and chair of judges for the Boardman Tasker Award for Mountain Literature.
