LAKE DISTRICT Guided Trail Running Weekend

Enjoy beautiful trails through stunning valleys and try exhilarating mountain singletrack, on a journey shaped by your experience, aspirations and the prevailing mountain weather.

Suitable for all abilities (running groups and selected routes are determined by runners' prior experience and ability). We will run at a sociable pace, with plenty of time for faff-stops, photos and lunch - as well as just taking in the views!

Our experienced guides will give you advice on navigation, equipment, training, nutrition and safety considerations to help you become more independent in the mountain environment.

Girls on Hills is a 'no-frills' experience - we don't include food or accommodation, allowing you the flexibility to choose your own to suit travel logistics or budget.

The course cost covers guiding and instruction with a Summer Mountain Leader qualified guide. Due to the important role that weather plays in deciding what route to take, we won't reveal the exact routes for the weekend in advance but we will email you information on what to wear and bring with you. We will meet up to check-kit and discuss our final plans over coffee before we start!

YOUE GUIDE/S

This course will be led by Heather Ohly, an International Mountain Leader (IML) who has been running, trekking and climbing in the mountains for over 20 years. Her enjoyment of the mountain environment is infectious, and she loves sharing her knowledge and skills to help other runners feel more confident in the hills. She combines her guiding work with a career in nutrition and international development.

Upon payment you will receive a set of questions in our confirmation email. TO COMPLETE YOUR BOOKING please reply to Girls on Hills with your answers (info@girlsonhills.com). This information will enable us to plan the perfect route and terrain for you, building-in coaching that covers your interests and aspirations for the weekend. The two days are complimentary in terms of skills and terrain covered, and allow for progression over the weekend.

We pride ourselves on being 'approachable and relatable' so please do get in touch with any concerns or queries you might have now or nearer to the event. We look forward to having some fun and showing you some great trail running in the Lake District.
