Course
Forty fell miles from Askham Community Centre with around 3,000m of ascent, taking in Helvellyn and High Street on mountain paths, trails, tracks and the occasional stretch of tarmac. The route is unmarked and needs basic navigation, though GPS is allowed. Three roadside resupply checkpoints plus soup at the finish, a 6am start and most runners home in ten to twelve hours.
