Route information
Starting at the iconic Buxton Opera House, the course takes runners out of town and up to the first climb along Axe Edge. From here, runners will head along country lanes all the while enjoying views of Chrome Hill, Dowel Dale, and Park Hill, just to name a few.
With a few more climbs along the way, the course finally loops back to Buxton before finishing in the Pavilion Gardens.
