Now well over a decade old, the TdeH has fast become a classic winter ultra run. Traditionally on the shortest Saturday before Christmas, it's a great way to avoid Christmas shopping! It’s popular so book early to avoid disappointment. The route starts at Askham and runs around Helvellyn, mainly on mountain trails and bridleways, climbing to a height of nearly 600m on multiple occasions, and covering a distance of around 38 miles.This is a 'low key' winter event with minimal support and a focus on winter mountain skills. A winter run of this type is tough and requires good navigational skills, experience and self reliance. While predominantly on good paths and trails, it is an unmarked route and in poor conditions some sections can be very tough to navigate.
