Course and logistics
The route crosses the border of Dark Peak and White Peak and runs over moorland, fields, tracks, sections of tarmac and woodland, finishing back at the school in the village. Key course features include an initial downhill through the village, a climb to the Abney Moor trig point on Durham Edge, descents to a small reservoir and later to the road, a drop into Bretton Clough with wet ground, and a final stretch through woods to the finish. Much of the route crosses private land and permission is granted only for the morning of the race. The event is organised by the local community and requires more than 30 volunteers on race day. Community members provide refreshments including flapjacks at the finish. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
