Based in Keswick, Cumbria we will spend the weekend talking all things ultra running. This weekend is aimed at those who have some experience of trail running and are looking to step up to their first ultra, or those with a few ultras under their belt who are looking to learn, improve and move in more mountainous terrain, such as the Lake District.
The focus of the weekend will be on the various elements which need to be considered to perform in an ultra, particularly in the mountains, including nutrition, navigation, planning, pacing, kit, efficiency and much more. You will be treated to a presentation on the Saturday evening at a local venue from George Foster, a GB ultra-trail runner.
The weekend will be delivered by fully qualified Mountain Leaders and Ultra Coaches, with plenty of experience and local knowledge to make sure you run the best trails and get the most from your weekend.
