It was first run in 1982 and since then has become a popular spring event in the village calendar. The Race is unusual. The hilly route follows the 13.875 miles of road that circles Coniston water and there are stunning views of the surrounding mountains.

Each year it attracts some 1600 runners and has a reputation for being one of the best organised small races in the country. The Race is organised by an enthusiastic committee of volunteers from Coniston village. John Kirkbride Each year over £7,000 is raised from the Race for charities and organisations in the local community. As a tribute to John Kirkbride, one of the founders of the Race, who died of cancer in 2006 the Coniston 14 Committee will each year make a major donation to St. Mary’s Hospice, Ulverston.

The Coniston 14 committee would like to apologise to the Manchester YMCA Harriers Ladies team for an error in the race recording system which denied them of recognition of their second place during the prize presentations after the race in the school hall.

Although prizes have been sent to the successful ladies we feel that this can only be scant compensation, and we are very sorry any disappointment we have caused.
