COME AND RACE SOMEWHERE DIFFERENT

From the calm waters of Derwentwater to the roads through the Northern Lakes and the finish in Keswick, Lakesman offers a race experience that's as memorable for the setting as it is for the challenge.

From the water to the roads to the finish line, Lakesman is shaped by the place it calls home. Crystal Clear open water, beautiful Lake District scenery, raceable elevation and the atmosphere around Keswick all come together to create a race day that feels challenging, memorable and unmistakably Lakesman.

Can you believe it's nearly September and that means nearly time for the draw for our biggest ever giveaway.

Today's prize is from our friends at Keswick Launch who run lake cruises on Derwentwater all year round. They kindly give us permission each year to use the jetties, their foreshore and make life very easy for us.

They have given us a family pass for a cruise on the most beautiful swim start in the UK - thanks guys ♥

Check their timetable on the link below and make sure you pay a visit next time you are in Keswick.

Our lake cruises are the best way to explore Derwentwater in the Lake District.

FULL OR HALF?

Every athlete comes to Lakesman with a different goal.

Whichever challenge you choose, there's still time to secure your place with just a £50 deposit. But not for much longer. The deposit increases on 1 September,
