Salomon Kielder Marathon - Sunday 9 October 2011

Former Olympic athlete and world record holder Steve Cram MBE has unveiled plans to repeat the hugely successful Kielder Marathon. Scheduled to take place on Sunday October 9, the Salomon Kielder Marathon will once again follow an almost entirely off-road course around northern Europe’s largest man-made lake, Kielder Water, in Northumberland.

Billed as ‘Britain’s most beautiful marathon’, the event was a sell out in its first year and returns this year with addition places on offer and a headline sponsor – Salomon, the athletic outdoor sports company. The marathon will follow the Lakeside Way, a trail that stretches right around the shoreline of Kielder Water. The organisers have more than doubled the field this year and expect to attract runners and outdoor adventure enthusiasts from around the world to the dramatic setting and unique course.
