Organiser's Description
The Maverick Peak District X-Trail 2026
SATURDAY 30 MAY 2026
BAKEWELL SHOWGROUND
Just like the Peak District National Park is central to England, The Maverick Peak District X-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 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!
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.
If you are looking for our shorter distances to run in the Peak District, please visit: The Maverick Peak District Trail 2026, where you will find the Half Marathon, 10k and 6k routes.
