The event schedule at the annual festival has been expanded for 2019 to include 14 separate senior and junior events covering running, cycling, swimming, triathlon and hiking.

The Keswick Mountain Festival has also announced a deeper partnership with the National Trust, with all entrants to its 2019 events being offered the chance to sign up to fundraise for the National Trust’s new Riverlands campaign, which is aiming to improve the health of mountain rivers.

Nichola Meadley, the festival’s Director, said: “We’re very excited about the sports schedule for 2019. We’ve got a great combination of returning festival favourites and some mouth-watering new events.
“We are also delighted to build on our partnership with the National Trust by encouraging sports event participants to support the Riverlands campaign, which will focus some of its work on the River Derwent that feeds the lake around which many festival activities take place.”
