About This Event
This popular and award-winning race takes place on the Tissington Trail, along a former railway line from Ashbourne to Buxton in the heart of Derbyshire. The traffic-free trail offers runners a gentle uphill gradient on the outbound journey and a slight downhill return, creating ideal conditions for both newcomers to distance running and seasoned runners seeking a scenic winter challenge. Set against the backdrop of the rolling Derbyshire Dales, the event provides stunning views throughout the course. The race's popularity means it typically sells out well in advance, testament to its reputation within the trail running community. Runners can choose between Saturday and Sunday race days, or tackle both for an ambitious weekend double.
