The route includes a few hills to offer a small challenge around the course in the most scenic countryside & forest. The elevation is noted on the downloadable course map. The course has very firm hard ground if dry (2015) but if we get rain (or snow!) then there can also be considerable amount of muddy areas to run through (2016).

Starting in the small village of Hope in the Heart of the Peak District national Park, our Peak X-series event is back for a third time with a brand new Ultra distance route.

The Peak District event may have the least vertical ascent of our X-series races and may weave through a National Park which is known for small quaint towns, local scarecrow competitions, and rolling landscapes frequently used in film adaptations of Jane Austen novels, but dont be fooled these four routes will require all your trail running strength.

Our Peak District event starts off steep by taking you up the famous Win Hill, where all runners will then take in the famous Lady Bower Reservoir. The routes dont get easier as the local tors just keep coming until the last few kilometres where all runners summit Lose Hill before descending back into the village of Hope.

The Ultra Distance has been added to the Peaks event for 2019, this takes you out to a new area of the peak district, winding down through valleys, crossing stunning streams and climbing up to Alport Castle, before heading across some open moorland where the Famous grouse roam. You will then re-join the marathon route and continue on towards black ashop moor.

Whether youre coming from South Wales, South England or the City of London, the village of Hope in the Peak district is centrally located and easily accessible for trails of all abilities to set themselves an serious challenge. With a train station located in the village of Hope itself those in London can leave from St. Pancras and be at our venue in less than 3 hours, ready for a trail run event that they wont forget.

The individual event will hold six categories Senior Male, Senior Female, Veteran Male, Veteran Female, Male over 50 and Female over 50.

The UTPD is a tough event which covers some of the most beautiful and challenging scenery in the UK. At around 60 miles the route takes in some of the finest trails and climbs in the Peak District. The route has roughly 3222 metres of ascent and whilst there are no monster climbs the continued hilly nature of the course earmarks this race as a tough one to complete.

Please note that the UTPD is a qualifying race (4 points) for the Ultra Trail Du Mont Blanc

This is an opportunity to enjoy one of Yorkshires landmark locations! Offering a 5km, 10km, half marathon, full marathon and an ultra all in one event.

The Round Res, is an event based on a 5k route around Scammondon Water, the challenge starts and finishers above Scammonden Water (NW of Huddersfield) you & your team, run around the reservoir.

The event will start and finish at South Wheatley Village Hall. The route takes Nottinghamshire's scenic rural countryside, using a combination of local waterway tow paths: The Cuckoo Way (Chesterfield Canal), and the Trent Valley Way (River Trent). The route follows the tranquil and scenic waterways most of the way, keeping navigation simple. It has a real cross country feel at times in remote areas, given the nature of the River Trent flood bank. 90% trail, with only some minor roads/tracks along the Trent Valley Way to link waterways. NB: Some of the flood bank running by the side of the Trent is rough underfoot providing a real challenge!

You simply follow this amazingly well marked 30 mile route (31.7 to be exact!) doing 1, 2 3 or even 5 laps.
