Coal Aston Gala Chase

The Coal Aston Gala Chase is a 4.8-mile summer trail race held in the scenic Moss Valley, Derbyshire. Starting and finishing at the Annual Coal Aston Summer Gala on Eckington Road, the course offers an achievable yet challenging route primarily along public rights of way through farmland and woodland, including a small ford crossing. The event fosters a friendly atmosphere with multiple stalls, refreshments, and a local pub for supporters and participants.

Licensed by the TRA and held under UK Athletics rules, the race features various age-category prizes and spot prizes, with free cake for all finishers. It is ideal for runners looking to step up from Parkrun events. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
