The Kong Lakes Ultra is organised by the Kong Race Events team which is based in Keswick, Cumbria. We have a retail shop www.kongrunning.com and organise many events throughout the year from short fell races to 2 day mountain marathons www.kongadventure.com/our-events/
Our incredibly successful ultra event starting and finishing in the beautiful town of Keswick, within the Lake District - England's most popular and stunning National Park. The Lake District is home to England's highest peak, Scafell Pike which is 978m above sea level, the long course visits this summit.
Running in the Lake District can be technical and challenging for all and is perhaps most suited to hardened fell runners. A GPS trace is available for both courses.
Both courses will earn you automatic UTMB qualifying points - 4 for the long course and 3 for the short!
