The Montane Trail 26 Grizedale Marathon event took place close to Hawkeshead - nestled in between Coniston Water and Lake Windermere. The course consisted of 2 separate loops. The route on the first loop was a mixture of gravel, trail path and fire roads which wind their way through the pine trees of Grizedale Forest, together with some open grassy sections which provided a stunning view of Coniston Water. The route on the second loop had uneven terrain, boggy areas, open fields and some small sections of road and included a sight of Lake Windermere. The Grizedale trail running event was classed as "lumpy". Jez Fellick led the 6 Wallasey runners home finishing the course in 03:50 for 11th place.
