I was in 2022 on Silver Route (75km) and I will be in 2023 on Gold Route (100km). Plenty of distance to choose between 25 to 100km will fit to everyone who starting with trial running or want to set up more difficult challenge. 24h cut off time allow to finish comfortable even if you will walk. Recommend to try 👍
Thanks Pawel, we'll look forward to having you back! Will

A really enjoyable, well organised and friendly event. The whole thing ran very smoothly. Communication before the event, instructions, checkpoints, parking etc etc, all seamless. Peak District is stunning, this is a great way to experience it. Definitely recommend giving it i go.
Hi Kevin, Really glad you enjoyed it, thanks very much for your kind words! Will

Not a bad event, the registration was easy and the route was nice; the overall set up was ok but it’s just so expensive. £40+ to enter (copper challenge) and then being asked to pay extra for a finishers medal or T-shirt is ridiculous, what does the entry fee actually cover? A GPS unit and two manned checkpoints? Seriously. I just can’t see why it was so much money - it would’ve been costly at half the price, so they could’ve at least included a medal. I won’t pay again. My advice is to map out a route of your own and enjoy it with friends, much better.
Hey Ian, really glad you liked the route and enjoyed the event overall! As well as the live GPS tracking and checkpoints with food, your entry fee also covered: Fully qualified, professional Mountain Leaders supervising the event. A goodie bag at the end of the event, with souvenir mug to keep, and prizes for the top 4 entrants A hot two-course stew supper on arrival back in Hathersage on Saturday evening. All the pre-event planning, including booking photographers, recovery masseurs, pickup taxi (free if required), event parking, bag care, safety signage, booking village halls, mapping a route and placing checkpoints etc... Printed route guides and GPX files The entry fee represents the real cost of putting on a great event to professional standards; we hope we might yet see you back in future years! Will
