    As a starter how about Scafell Pike? :- Borrowdale, Scafell, Old County Tops, 3 Peaks Yacht Race (and I've not done it but does that new AL race visit it or is it Scafell?). You could possibly also include the Lakes 3000ers round that LDWA do but I dont suppose that qualifies as a race.

    Kinder gets a few visits. Kinder Downfall, Kinder Trog, Tanky's, HPM, Edale Country day, oh yes & today's Edale Skyline - so that's 6 off the top of my head.
