LAKELAND Trails will be celebrating the 10th anniversary of the Coniston Trail event this Saturday.
Over 1200 competitors will be taking part in the various events, from all over the UK, along with overseas visitors from New Zealand, Israel, USA, Sweden, Norway, Holland, Germany, Belgium, France and Ireland.
The Lakeland Trails are family friendly sporting festivals, taking place on footpaths / bridleways and the start and finish arena will be at Coniston Showground with event car parking at the venue.
New for this year is a Kid’s Zone, with bouncy castles, face painting, Bongo balloon art, kid’s activities and children’s fun runs.
There are trade and retail stands, food and drink stalls and a live commentary with MC.
The event is supporting the regional Nurture Lakeland, Fix The Fells charity, and Coniston Mountain Rescue along with other regional and national charities with thousands of pounds being raised for these charities by competitors running in the event.
More information and full start lists are available at www.lakelandtrails.org/coniston/raceday.php.
