About the race

The course is mostly on good trails and features a mid-race climb past Black Rocks, with a total ascent of about 820 feet (250 m). Runners start at Cromford Meadows, follow the canal towpath to High Peak Junction, then climb to the trig point on Cromford Moor before returning along the towpath to the finish.
The route is marked, and online/advanced registration is required with a 300-runner limit (no day entries). It combines river/canal scenery with moorland terrain for a scenic, evening race atmosphere. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
