First Light Adventure Trail Races

About This Event

First Light Adventure hosts a series of distinctive trail races across the hidden gems of Derbyshire, skirting the eastern fringes of the Peak District. These events showcase the area's diverse landscape, from ancient woodlands and high moorland to rolling farmland and restored former mining areas, offering runners a chance to discover the undiscovered countryside around Chesterfield. Each race is thoughtfully designed with comprehensive support including detailed route notes, GPS files, well-stocked checkpoints, and professional medical coverage. The organization prides itself on patient, friendly delivery while maintaining the highest professional standards, creating memorable experiences that combine scenic running challenges with opportunities to make new connections in the trail running community. The races range from women-only events to ultra-distance challenges, each offering unique character and terrain variety. From moonlit half marathons through Sutton Springs Wood to 33-mile circumnavigations of Chesterfield's famous Crooked Spire, these events provide authentic Peak District trail experiences away from the more crowded central areas.
