Famous Grouse Fell Race
The Famous Grouse Fell Race is a short fell running event held in Birch Vale, New Mills, Derbyshire. The race takes place on the last Sunday in November and follows an established course through the Peak District. The event features a single distance for participants:

The competition is restricted to runners aged 18 and over, with a maximum capacity of 125 participants. The route follows the original path starting from the bottom of Moorlands Road. Although there is no mandatory kit required by the organizers, participants are advised to equip themselves appropriately for the weather conditions in Derbyshire during late November.
