Tissington Trail Marathon & Half Marathon
Sun 27th April 2025
Organiser's Description
Come & join us for this slice of racing joy through the picturesque Derbyshire countryside!
This is a Nice Work race
This means that this is an original Nice Work race, fully hosted and organised by us.
Event Overview:
The Tissington Trail, the site of a former railway line from Ashbourne to Buxton, runs along a 13 mile route from Parsley Hay to Ashbourne in Derbyshire. Surrounded by beautiful countryside the traffic-free trail is ideal for a cracking marathon and, because the route is slightly downhill on the way back, you've got gravity on your side! The race is suitable for both experienced and first-time marathon runners.
Course Details:
The route gently climbs up through glorious Peak District scenery before turning around with a 13.1 mile downhill finish – so fast times are likely. The race is an out and back from Ashbourne to Parsley Hay along the traffic-free Tissington Trail. The route gently climbs uphill towards Parsley Hay before heading slightly downhill and all the way back; its a great cours for runners of all abilities and a fantastic introduction to the marathon distance for runners of all abilities.
Although the route is traffic-free, the trail will still be open to other trail users, including cyclists, walkers and horse-riders.
Please be aware that there is a six hour cut-off for this event.

A lovely day out. The Tissington Trail follows the route of an old railway line and runs north from Ashbourne in Derbyshire. It is a low key event and entirely off-road. The trail is of good quality and shared by walkers and cyclists. The weather was good - cool to start off with - not too hot. It is an out and back marathon with plenty of places for supporters to gather and see you run by - twice! There was easy parking at the leisure centre where it started.there was even a cafe at the start.
