2 Valleys Trail 2026

About trip

If you're looking for variety, breathtaking views, and just the right amount of challenge, the 2 Valleys is the perfect introduction to trail running. At 21km, it may be our shortest route, but it certainly shouldn't be underestimated. Starting in the popular mountain town of Keswick, the circular route follows the old railway line before climbing from Threlkeld on quiet roads and well-made trails. After refuelling at the well-stocked feed station, you'll venture into the spectacular Glenderaterra Valley, where secluded trails and sweeping mountain views create one of the highlights of the course. A short, more technical section across the Lonscale Slabs is rewarded with a fast descent around Latrigg and an exciting finish back in the centre of Keswick. Whether you're tackling your first trail race, taking on a challenge walk, or simply exploring one of the Lake District's finest routes, the 2 Valleys is an unforgettable adventure.
