Husband and Wife duo, Martin and Amanda Smith headed to Grizedale to compete in the Grizedale Trail 13 & 26.
The race begins at Grizedale Forest Visitor Centre. The half marathon course is the first 13 miles of the marathon route and takes place on forest tracks. The route is undulating, with an elevation gain of 1,500ft with beautiful views of Coniston and surrounding areas.
Grizedale Visitor Centre is the finish for the half marathon, but the full marathon distance runners continue to complete a loop towards Windermere. The terrain is varied, with some road sections.
Martin completed the 1/2 marathon finishing in 2:39:25 and Amanda completed the full marathon completing this in an impressive 6:26:16.
