Kong Lakes Ultra

www.kongultra.com

In 2021 we set up our new event - the Kong Lakes Ultra.

We took over the 10 Peaks event in 2019 and we organised 2 hugely successful and enjoyable events in the Brecon Beacons and in the Lake District. After the covid pandemic of 2020 and the subsequent cancellation of our 10 Peaks events, it has allowed us time to reflect on our event and discuss the event in great detail with many of the course participants and event team. We have decided to alter the course to a more pleasing route which starts and finishes in Keswick - we felt this was better for the participant and their supporters/spectators. The route is of a very similar distance and elevation gain to the original 10 Peaks events and covers very similar terrain but traverses slightly different peaks. It also eliminates the need to catch a bus to the start. We have renamed this event the KONG LAKES ULTRA and we hope that you will love it as much as we do.

Welcome!

The Kong Lakes Ultra events are designed to challenge even the toughest competitors, combining ultra-distance running/hiking with some of the UK's most rugged and mountainous terrain.

Both routes several traverse mountain summits across rocky terrain, utilising main footpath networks. These non-stop courses vary from 59km to 80km and must be completed within 24 hours!

The 10Peaks™ Brecon Beacons event is the ultimate 24-hour navigational ultra-distance fell race in the UK. The long course takes in the 10 of the highest peaks in the Brecon Beacons, covering a distance of ~89 kilometres with nearly 5000 metres of ascent and is all to be completed within a time limit of 24 hours. The short course is a more achievable, yet still challenging, route at ~58km.
