The Maverick Peak District Trail

Sat 30th May 2026

Two trail runners, wearing athletic gear and backpacks, run along a rocky path on a windswept hillside under a cloudy sky, with rolling hills and distant fields in the background. Two runners wearing race bibs and hydration packs run on a trail through grassy, hilly terrain. One uses trekking poles while the other jogs beside him. Both appear to be smiling. The sky is cloudy and overcast. A man wearing a green shirt, black shorts, and a backpack runs and leaps over large rocks on a grassy, rocky landscape under a cloudy sky.

Organiser's Description

The Maverick Peak District Trail 2026

SATURDAY 30 MAY 2026
BAKEWELL SHOWGROUND


Just like the Peak District National Park is central to England, The Maverick Peak District Trail race is the central piece to the Maverick calendar. It is the long-distance event that, over the years, our Maverick Trail runners have returned to time and time again. You come looking for a challenge, and you are not disappointed. You come searching for adventure, and you leave with expectations greatly exceeded.

The routes all start in the spectacular Bakewell Showground before taking you out into the National Park, where constantly varied and mixed terrain will keep you on your toes. Our three routes will take you over high moor and down through river valleys. You’ll crisscross over old railways and summit the highest peaks in the park. You’ll join the iconic well-trodden Pennine footpath in parts, and explore lesser-beaten tracks in others. Whilst never being far from a breathtaking view or lung-busting set of stone steps! Please note, there is no outpost on the Short route.

The Maverick Peak District Trail run will have you hit all the edges of the park, taking you through Bamford, Hathersage, Curbar, Froggatt and Stanage, meaning you’ll get a fully immersive experience and feel for this incredible place. We can’t wait to welcome you back to our Peak District event.
