6 reasons to enjoy camp life at the SCARPA Great Lakeland 3Day!
One of the best things about the SCARPA Great Lakeland 3Day is the overnight camps!
After a hard day’s running, enjoy kicking back and relaxing surrounded by like-minded runners.
Here are our top 6 reasons why you will love camp life at the 2023 event:

1. SCARPA shoes
Courtesy of our new title sponsor, SCARPA, runners will now have the opportunity to test new SCARPA running shoes during the event. As they say, you can never have enough pairs of shoes… especially if you’re a runner!

2. Delicious cake
Did someone say free cake? What better way to re-fuel after a fun day out in the fells with a delicious slice of cake! With gluten-free and vegan options available also, this is definitely a highlight of the GL3D.
3. A nice, refreshing beer
If the promise of cake wasn’t enough, there will also be beer available at the overnight camps. Enjoy a refreshing pint as your pour over your map for the following day’s adventure.

4. The traditional GL3D Quiz
The quiz in the communal marquee is a tradition at the Great Lakeland 3Day! Put your Lake District knowledge to the test. It’s a very informal atmosphere, but you may get the chance to win an awesome prize.
5. Food and drink vendors
If crouching over a little camp stove heating up a dehydrated meal doesn’t sound like your idea of fun, fear not! At the SCARPA Great Lakeland 3Day we have some great food and drink vendors to choose from… so you definitely won’t go hungry. Instead of cooking, you can spend your evening time socialising, relaxing and preparing for the day ahead.
Of course, for the traditionalists out there, you are still more than welcome to prepare your own food!

6. A fun and friendly atmosphere
The communal marquee is a brilliant place to hang out in the evening! It’s the perfect place to swap stories, study the route, eat food, or just generally enjoy socialising.
Running on you own? No problem – the communal marquee is a great place to meet other like-minded runners.
