Saunders Lakeland Mountain Marathon
Race Date: 05 July 2025
With thanks to Tony McClelland for the following race report: Saunders Lakeland Mountain Marathon - this year taking place in the Lake District rain forests around Langdale. Not many pictures as the phones were wrapped in multiple waterproof layers. But three Harriers - Clare McClelland, Jon Williams (& son) and I who survived the floods to make our way around the Wansfell course unscathed. Big hand as always goes out to the incredible marshals who “treaded water” all weekend to make it happen. Now time to dry out every piece of kit I own, drink beer and polish our (imaginary) medals.
Team Clare and Tony finished in 31st place (out of 79 teams), in an aggregate time of 9:11:49 over the two days, and for 12th place in category. Team Samuel and Jon recorded an aggregate time of 12:00:29 for 74th place.
