Any of the Lakeland Trail events - just google Lakeland Trails. Very popular, well organised, slick events.
Coniston 14 road race - April (I think). One of my favourites.
Check out the LDWA challenge events on their website - Grasmere in April, Borrowdale in June or the brilliant 4 passes challenge in October (not that I'm biased!)
Coniston 14 is one great run it was my first distance race after only running for 5 months and did 1h 57mins at a light weight of 17stone and all in all done it 8 times pb 1h 42mins so luck to break 1h 40 next year. Its a good one to start your love of running in the lakes as once you've ran up there blackpool and the prom will not be so appealing as you will try and break your pbs on great courses hope to see you there must warn you this will fill quick and get digs sorted. The waterheads hotel is close to the start and is a good place to stay.
If your thinking of doing it get a hilly 14 mile training run and make sure you have a big hill at 10 mile that lasts for just over a mile and you should be ok. The finish is great as people line both sides of the road and its slightly down hill and you give it loads even though you are knackered its great even though you can hardly walk the day after but thats the pain and gain thing.
Dont worrie its mile 11+ that is tough and the ten before it. But respect the terrain and if poss carry fluid with you and take it as early as you can and dont get dragged into setting of to quick or you will pay for it later on good luck see you there.
