Goyt Valley Challenge

The Goyt Valley Challenge is a scenic running and walking event held in the western Peak District, starting and finishing at Buxton Community School in Derbyshire. Participants can choose between two routes: a long 26.2-mile course with 4,000 feet of ascent passing through landmarks like Axe Edge, Goyt Valley, Shining Tor, and Lamaload Reservoir, and a shorter 14.3-mile route with 2,000 feet of ascent covering Axe Edge, Goyt Valley, and Fernilee Dam. The event offers a supportive atmosphere with refreshments, a hot meal at the finish, and commemorative items.

It is organized by High Peak LDWA and encourages proper preparation for moorland terrain. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
