Teams will be taking on an incredible challenge journeying through the majestic mountains and sprawling lakes surrounding Keswick. They will complete a course that sees them hike, paddle and go off-road bike riding, between dawn and dusk, racing the sun on this triathlon-style adventure charity fundraising challenge.
