The Butterfly Effect – Buckeye

Sun 21st April 2024

A serene lake surrounded by lush, green trees under a partly cloudy sky. Swans and ducks swim peacefully on the water's surface, which reflects the greenery and parts of the blue sky. Tall grass lines the front of the image, enhancing the natural, tranquil scene. A picturesque landscape showcasing a well-maintained green lawn leading to a historic brick tower partially hidden by dense trees. The scene is under a dramatic cloudy sky, with autumn leaves on trees adding vibrant colors to the image. A peacock butterfly with vibrant blue, red, black, and tan eyespots on its wings rests on a green leaf. The detailed pattern is striking against the lush foliage, highlighting the butterfly's intricate and colorful design. A serene forest scene with a dirt path winding through tall trees and dense foliage. The forest floor is covered with vibrant bluebells in full bloom, creating a carpet of purple flowers under the lush green canopy. Sunlight filters through the leaves, creating dappled shadows.

Organiser's Description

Welcome to Shipley Country Park in Derbyshire, an area steeped in history and was even mentioned in the Doomsday Book back in 1086! The land has been part of a stately home, hunting lodge, and, as always in this area, a coal mine. We’ll be putting on a series of events over the next few months celebrating the butterflies around the park. Hopefully, you can join us and add the medals to your Rasselbock collection

The aim for our events is to organize races as if I was taking part, so you can expect amazing support, the best medals and goody bags, and a small group of runners that is never any more than 150. Think of it as a small group of friends and family all coming together for an amazing day of running!

There is a time limit of 6 hours for this event. This means that you need to have completed your final lap before the end of the 6 hours for it to be counted towards your final distance. Each lap will be 5.59km long with a total elevation gain of just 80 meters for each loop. This means that if you complete 4 laps you have run a half marathon, 8 laps, a full marathon and 9 laps or more will be classed as an Ultra. You can finish your event at any time within the six hours, and as long as you have completed one lap then you will be classed as a finisher.
