Race Report: Borrowdale Trail Run 13k 15/06/2014

Great weather (if a tad hot) for this amazing run in a stunning setting. 
Rebecca, Ali and Lucy by the banks of Derwentwater 
13km around Derwent water; undulating with one big climb about 4 miles in. 


Good atmosphere, well organised and good t shirt, pair of salamon socks and as many 9bars and caramel shortbread you could eat in the goody bag. There were half and full marathon options too and some very nimble 'mountain goat types' making it look so easy! A great event and a great way to spend a Sunday.
