Organiser's Description

Join us for Ladybower Reservoir Trail Running Festival 2026 on Saturday 26 September 2026

Set out from Hope Village for a day of Peak District trail running with wide views, classic climbs, and flowing forest paths. Choose your challenge and enjoy clear waymarking, enthusiastic marshals, stocked aid stations, and a welcoming finish beside friends and family.

22K Route: Start in Hope Village and climb onto Win Hill for panoramic views across Hope Valley. Descend into the forest to pick up rolling riverside paths toward the Thornhill Trail, then return through Aston to the finish in Hope. Expect varied terrain, confident footing, and great supporter spots near the village.

54K: Begin in Hope Valley and summit Win Hill before stretching out across the reservoir edges of Ladybower, Derwent, and Howden. Your final upland section crosses the moors to Back Tor, Derwent Edge, and Whinstone Lee Tor, then drops to the Thornhill Trail for the run back into Hope. This is a big day on classic Peak District ground with rewarding climbs and sweeping views.
