Amberaid 30 Trail Race and Petit Raid

Overview

First Light Adventure stages a series of trail races around the eastern fringes of the Peak District in Derbyshire. Events use a mix of woodland, field, moorland, reservoirs and restored mining-area trails and include marked sections plus routes that rely on GPX files and route notes. Many events provide marshals, aid stations or checkpoints with water and food, and finishers receive medals or mementos. Several races offer free car parking at race headquarters or nearby locations. Some events operate under permit from the Association of Running Clubs. A number of races raise funds or make donations to charities.
