Cumbria Way Social Club Run

Usually on the first Sunday of July, club members and friends run part of the Cumbria Way from Coniston to Ulverston.

You can run the whole distance (approx. 15.5 miles) or join it at various places en-route.

We have 2 paced groups to choose from, a slower paced group (approximately 12 min pace/mile) leaving Coniston at 10am and a faster group (approximately 9min pace/ mile) the faster group aiming to catch up the slower group by Gawthwaite, so we can run the final part together and finish at the Old Friends pub for a pie and pint. Club vests are encouraged! Final arrangements about the run are posted on our group Facebook site.

There are checkpoints along the way for those who do not want to run the full distance (15.5 miles) allowing you to join in along the route.

Social group (12 min pace/mile)

• Leave at 10am from The Crown in Coniston
• Torver 10:45am
• Beacon Tarn 11:30am
• Gawthwaite 12:20 (added extra 20mins for dip)
• Ulverston 2:15ish

Faster Group (9min miles)

• Leave at 11am from The Crown, Coniston
• Torver 11:30
• Beacon 12
• Gawthwaite 1:05 (added 20mins for a dip in Beacon Tarn)
• Ulverston 2:15ish

These timings should allow the faster group to catch the social group between Gawthwaite and Ulverston. Transport to the start and drop off points is usually shared.
