Carsington 7+
About this event
The Carsington 7+ will follow a route starting and finishing close to the Carsington Water Visitor Centre. The course will take runners on a full clockwise circuit of the reservoir, taking in spectacular, and (we hope) sunny views across the water and the beautiful Derbyshire countryside. Mainly on cycle track, the course is flat in places but includes some moderate inclines. We welcome everyone over 17 who wants to run whatever their ability or experience.
