The Hawkshead Trail 17k Challenge started and finished at Hawkshead and followed circuits along footpaths and bridleways and took in panoramic views of Lake Windermere and the surrounding peaks of the Coniston Hills, the Langdales and most of the Lakeland fells. The route took in the infamous, mile long, near vertical, killer climb of the "Coffin Trail"! Phil Cuthbert took up the challenge and ran well to finish in 11th place in 01:23.
